Diane 35 (generic name: cyproterone/ethynil estradiol) is an oral birth control pill. It contains two hormones that prevent the ovary from releasing the egg. Additionally the cervical mucus thickens, thus decreasing the chances for the spermatozoids to reach the uterine cavity.


Diane 35 is taken for 21 consecutive days. In the next 7 days it is not taken at all. After the end of the seven days the menstrual period is expected to start. It does not matter when the bleeding would start within the 24 hours. Sometimes, the bleeding might start several days after the expected date. If that happens for two consecutive menstrual cycles, then you might want to visit your gynecologist and check for any hormonal imbalance which might have been caused by changing the birth control product from Provera to Diane 35.

HI i started using birth control 2 months ago and i started with yasmin but i didnt like it and also i wanted to cure my acne so the 2nd month I started diane 35, this week my period is due but it hasnt come yet and i start a new pack on saturday and today is wednesday if my period doesnt come does it mean that i am pregnant? i have taken all the pills on the day but some i took at different hours but never after 12h. im worried that i might be pregnant.

how many days should i stop taking diane35 from the last time i had sex? and sometimes i dont take my pill at the same time but mostly i take it at 9pm but sometimes i fell asleep and take it a 1am.. is it possible to get pregnant? 4 days after from the last time i had sex i stopped my pill and 3 or 4 days later i had my 7 days period then after a week my left breast is painful, is it normal?
