I know this isn't a question to be asked online, but the docs here in Dubai don't seem to be capable of helping me with this!
So to my problem:
I've been on several different pills for the past 8 years, off and on, and until 2 weeks ago I was taking Diane 35. I stopped because I was having lots of bad headaches, very sore breast for over a month, I was spotting, horrible nausea, and other symptoms which at first made me think i might be preggo. Anyways the doc said it's from Diane and she never recommends women to take it for more than 6 months. I took it for at least 8 months so she suggested I take Yasmin and Belara but I've tried both in the past and since I tend to be a lil hairy, I would have lots of ingrown hairs and very sensitive face. So she couldn't help me any further. Also both of those let the menstrual pains through. I started bcp to control the horrible cramps i get before and during my period and the ugly skin and pimples i usually have.
While on Valette I started spotting about 6 months later. But I don't remember any other side effects. also I'm not sure if it's 'cause of bcp but my libido is always low! only valette is too long ago so i dont remember how that was.
@angdif,
Are you a Canadian expat? I ask because after Googling Diane 35, I keep coming up with Canadian sites. In any event, maybe try sending a note to or calling your physician from outside Dubai, from before you got there (in Canada, or the US or France or Indonesia or wherever), and explain the situation to him or her.
Make sure to mention all drugs and herbs you are taking - it only takes something like 4 separate medications (and make no mistake, herbs like Echinaecea, etc. are considered to be "drugs") for there to start being interactions.
