    not on dianette any more - was for about 5 years though. now on yasmin. i finish on a friday and things generally start on the monday - but it can be a day or two late (always around christmas, just to add to stress lol). dianette does make periods much lighter though, so a bit of a delay may well be due to that.

    have you missed a pill, or been ill - i.e. is pregnancy at all a likely alternative?

    Hiya, I haven't missed any but have been on a health kick, and been eating much more fruit and veg is you know what I mean.....

    I would be very surprised if I was pregnant(understatement).

    I don't know if I should take a test or not, I don't think my c-section scar has recovered yet....

    i'd give it a couple more days before you take the pregnancy test - it's not a week yet.... i've had that awful feeling of being late (christmas day at my parents two years ago - i can't imagine a worse time or place!) - it's not fun but don't get too stressed just yet!

    i still get PMT on the pill - have you had chocolate cravings or randomly snapped at people (or is that just me lol)?

    No, totally normal...well for me anyway, don't like chocolate so can't use that one.

    I hope tomorrow brings news....

    I've been on Dianette for quite a few years now. I take my last pill on Saturday and have to wait six days for my period. I don't know if this helps at all.

  • I was on Dianette for years, but it could take me nearly a week for my period to start after taking the last tablet.
    I also remember the words of my friends, but I would rather have enemies than friends like you :p

    :p would like to make it known that ZubeZubes avvy is a DHN, she's not dancing :o

    Things all well, I couldn't sleep last night stressing I might have been pregnant....I think I should just keep taking the pills and never have a break!!

    Thank you all
