| I've been on Yasmin for 12 months and have just switched to Estelle b/c Yasmin made my periods much WORSE. However, once Yasmin started to work on my skin (about 6 months) it was really good at clearing up my acne. I have just started my pack of Estelle and have taken three active tablets, but I'm already experiencing major heart palpitations and anxiety. but it is exam time....so I'm going to stick with it until the end of the month. oh and if you've got private healthcare you may be able to claim a rebate on Yasmin. |

| i have just been put on yasmine but havnt started it yet i hope i dont suffer any of these problems as i wont take it anymore if side effects effect me!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I am on Yasmin at the moment and have had similar side effects to you so I've decided that I'm going to stop taking it as of tomorrow. As for your acne perhaps a naturopath can help they look at the overall you not just bits this may be worth looking into?? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I have been on Estelle and suffered some nasty side effects. If you are trying to get rid of acne I suggest you should try Aldactone combined with a cheap pill such as Levlen ED as you wont get the nasty side effects such as bloating etc. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi, I am currently on Estelle, I have been for about 4 months now, and I am only just staring to notice a difference in my skin. I am also using pro active as well. I dont know if the proactive has helped or not, but I actually dont mind it. I have never heard of Yasmin before , but Estelle seems to finally be working for me (although the changes are very gradual it seems) At the start my apetite did increase but then it calmed down and it is back to normal. I agree that you do feel a bit flat on it, but nothing too major. I would rather have clear skin actually as it makes you feel heaps better about yourself! Around my periods I get really cranky, but it only lasts two days prior and then Im fine again. hope this helps also :) |

| Hey, I have taken Diane/Estelle for almost 4 years. I have to admit it really works on my skin, but it takes time. Cant really see the changes within months, probably after 6 months. I used to have lots of acnes on my face, but my skin is really wonderful now, got lots of compliment coz it looks so healthy and glowing. Not only that, I never got period cramps anymore and noticeably shorter period. I used to have almost 2 weeks of period and very painful cramps. That's why I am really happy on how Diane really works on my body. However, there's also the downside parts. My boyfriend of 6 years thinks I always get cranky and moody near the period. And yes, there is an increase in appetite, I feel a bit chubby now, although they claim that it doesn't increase your appetite. Another thing that I noticed is that I used to have headache and felt like fever in the first couple of months using it (no longer now). My doctor also warned my on blood clot risk, especially if u r a smoker, or travel a lot, or over 30 years old. Just consult with your doctor.. I haven't tried Yasmin, coz I just knew about it few months ago. But anyway, I am happy enough with Diane and Yasmin is more expensive. Hope it helps!! ;) |

| My younger sister (22) takes Estelle for her skin. After around 5 or 6 months the results were really noticeable on her face and back. She still gets the occassional break-out (don't we all) but it's minor compared to how her skin used to be. I was taking Yasmin for about 3 years and it did wonders for my skin. I have recently stopped as I'm trying to conceive. Not sure what's happening with my body but everything is so up and down. Bad period pains, nausea, headaches. I didn't have any side effects when I first started taking Yasmin; but now I feel like I'm being punished for stopping. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I've actually found estelle to work for me.. Really cleared up my skin but it does take a while.. My appetite actually decreased - which i have heard of in a few people.. Admittedly I probably am more susceptible to feel flat having been on it.. but its ok. But it's gota work for you.. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| i also used estelle, i found that after using it for 2 wks i was really depressed, tired,anxious,nausious, and had horrible muscle pain. i also went on it to clear up my acne however the doctor said it would take up to 6mths before seeing any change in my skin. after the 2 wks i decided to get off estelle. i have just started using yasmine and already finding it alot better. i also used proactiv and didnt like it you should try special cleansing gel by dermalogica. hope you see some positive changes :) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I've been on both Estelle and Yasmin in an attempt to clear up my skin. I started breaking out in acne while on Estelle (and looking back, it was probably due to stress), so I switched to Yasmin, in hopes of clearing up the skin and losing weight. Unfortunately, my skin did not improve at all, and eventually got worse, especially in summer. I went and saw my doctor and she told me that Estelle (or Diane) was slightly better than Yasmin for acne, and suggested I go back on that one. I'm about to start taking it again, and hopefully my skin will clear up. On another note, I was on Diane/Estelle for about 5 years and had completely clear skin during that period. It wasn't until I started working full time when I started breaking out again. |

| Some do have serious side effects - check the brochure in the packet or see your doctor again. My sons skin improved really well with a low gi diet (it is not a weight lose diet and is pretty easy). These are easy to look up on the net. Might be worth a try. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi guys, Hope you can help me? I've just started taking Estelle 35ED for my acne and for the bonus that its a contraceptive. I have been taking it for 9 days, and dont feel good at all. Cranky, irritable, fat (bloated/fluid retention) mood swings, increase in appetite. These are the reasons I have avoided the pill before for fear of these side effects. My skin hasnt cleared up yet, but what Im wondering is, is it the pill that is making me feel like this? even after as little as 9 days? How long do I have to stick it out, to decide whether I should try another contraceptive pill? my doctor suggests that I try Estelle first then give Yasmin a go, as he thinks it may be better, its just that it costs a lot more, thats why I thought I'd try Estelle first. As for the acne side of it, I've done the rounds too!Was on Roacctutane years ago, but obviously the effects didnt last. Tried proactiv (no good!) have had microdermabrasion and acid peel treatments. They were effective to old acne, but didnt stop the problem of new acne appearing. Hence I've started the pill. I really dont want to be feeling like I do right now. Has anyone tried both pills? I suppose its hard too, when everyones body reacts differently. Grateful for any advice..... |
