Anyone tried Diane35 for PCOS?

hi , i am 24 and i have been diagnosed with early PCOS.. I was given a glucose normalising tablet and Diane 35.. I am still waiting for my periods to occur to start Diane 35. Meanwhile have been doing research on Diane 35.. Has anyone used this medicine for PCOS? If yes, how effective was this? what are the side effects? I dont have acne, and have a clear skin. so will there be any side effects on my skin? Will this affect pregnancy in the future? i am really worried.. pls respond..

Re: Anyone tried Diane35 for PCOS?

Bad idea. Don't go on it. My doc put me on it cos i was loosing hair. years later I stopped it and tonnes of hair fell out! i then found out i had PCOS and continued with it cos i was scarred that coming off it would do more damage to my hair. I would recommend you not go on it.
Depending on your symptoms i would suggest you discuss other options such as ovarian drilling and metformin.

Re: Anyone tried Diane35 for PCOS?

PCOS is a serious life time disease. You have to take care of yourself and make a total life time change… such as regular exercise and eating healthy (eating like a diabetic). PCOS is a pre-diabetic condition. If you don’t change your diet now there is a very good chance you will get diabetes in the future. Your body’s inability to regulate insulin properly coats your organs such as you ovaries with fats etc. These organs in turn give trouble. Your ovaries have trouble releasing the eggs through the ovaries and this creates follicular cysts inside. Your body then starts to produces more testosterone to force the eggs out. This testosterone then leads to hair loss and other hormonal problems like acne and excess facial hair. (the main problem with the Pill is that it makes your body’s ability to regulate insulin worse). So you have to control your diet and on your doctors recommendation take medication to regulate your hormones. If you are over weight then reduce your weight. Very often you will find your hair might return back to normal if the insulin is regulated. If not you will have to look at other options (stronger hormonal medication).
A normal GP will not be able to help you. You have to get a recommendation by your GP to a Endocrinologist or a good Gynaecologist. The doctor you go to should regularly check your progress. Like take blood tests/scans every 3months or every 6months or so.
Again I have to stress that PCOS is a life time medical condition. So you have to take your health seriously.
Please visit the following websites for more info.

Also depending on which country you live in contact your government Department of Health as ask them where you can get further information.

Natural remedies… (Should be taken in addition to medication from your doctor)
Saw Palmetto – reduces testosterone
Greeen Tea & Yerba Matte Tea – reduces DHT
Switch your shampoo to a Nettle Shampoo – washes off some DHT
Take a multi vitamin supplement or iron supplements.

Hope this information helps.

Re: Anyone tried Diane35 for PCOS?

PS: I realised I based my last reply on hairloss. But if you don't have symptoms such as hairloss/acne/facial hair then focus on getting as healthy as possible.
So regulate your insulin and hormornes.
Healthy Diet and excercise.
In future when you want to get pregnant you can discuss other options such as Ovarian Drilling. If you focus on getting healthy now most likely you won't need help with fertility in the future.
Good luck.
