  • I am really annoyed that my GP never advised me that this could be an issue - i would have reconsidered long ago rather than leaving it until i am 31, married and trying to have our first baby!!!!

  • Yes I agree, it's awful. I would never have gone on this pill if I had known. My mum had real problems conceiving me and now I think that I will have the same thing. It's not a good start to married life. x
  • BTW I started another thread on Pregnancy forum asking for positive stories after Dianette - hmm mixed response but it's there if anyone's interested x
  • Hi, this my first time here. I have been reading loads of
    negative reports on Dianette (i.e coming off to conceive)
    I came off last September. My first period was 7 days late then the
    next 4 months were 28-30 day cycles.
    I am now on day 32 and no period !!
    Is it normal for periods to be regular then suddenly become irregular ?
    Any one experienced similar problems?
    Any help/advise most appreciated.
  • Sorry, I know its something so obvious but
    can anyone tell me what 'af' means ??

  • 'af' means 'Aunt Flo' ie your period - I didn't know what this meant when I first joined either! x ps sorry can't help with the period question as haven't had one at all yet since coming off Dianette. Bought some 'agnus castus' (herbal supplement meant to help sort your cycles out) today from Holland and Barrett so hoping that this will help me get back to normal. x
  • I came off Dianette after 5 years in mid-January and got my af today!!! I have always had irregular afs. Typical and sod's law as I have booked acupuncture to regulate myself on Tuesday! But still could do with getting shorter cycles than this! But am letting you ex-Dianette ladies still waiting for af that it has taken me nearly 50 days but i'm there. xxx
  • Thanks Manic !! I am figuring out all these abbreviations but that
    one had me foxed hehe !!
    Well I'm really confused at the moment. Ive had 4 regular af's since coming off Dianette and am on day 34 of my current cycle (no major signs of af). I do feel a bit bloated but even that comes and goes. Although I do feel a bit emotional (poor b/f). So who knows whats goin on ? I am starting to think am I gonna have a bfp ?? I'll leave it another 7 days or so (if I can resist that long) and get a test.
    Nail biting times huh ?? Oh btw, developed a cold which is unusual . tc xx
