wonderup and Diane-35
March 20 2008 at 10:27 PM tessa (Login hopefullcanadian)
I just ordered a 6month supply of wonderup, and just started the birth control Diane-35. this BC seems to be a little more intense than your average pill, does anyone know if taking wonderup while on Diane-35 will reduce the effectiveness of the BC pill or is there any serious health concerns?

Hi there, vortex health claims that Wonderup does not interfere with BCPs or any other sort of medication that they know of. At least I certainly hope that they're right because I've been taking WU alongside Dianette BCP for nearly 2 months.. and um.. I really don't want any mini-Joy's running around just yet..! Oh btw I haven't noticed any real change just yet except a bit of swelling but fingers crossed.

Why did they give you Diane? Do you have PCO / hirsutism / bad acne? In the UK (not sure about elsewhere) they have withdrawn the license for Diane to be used solely for contraception due to the risk factors for thrombosis and stuff and it's now only used to treat hormonal problems. I'm taking it for PCO + WU and not sure herbs have done anything for me but I also have to take other meds which are known to affect the stomach so maybe I don't absorb things well.

Hey girls, yeah I've heard that Dianette's license has been revoked but it was prescribed for me nearly 3 years ago when I first moved to the UK and they didn't elaborate on the risks involved. I'm going to see if I can switch to a less potent one such as Yasmin because I'm definitely not all about putting risks to my health unnecessarily.
And Tessa, to answer your question, I've been taking WU for just about 2 months now. Daily, I also take a multivitamin with iron, a capsule of fish oil for O-mega fats, and I'm trying to eat high-protein foods supplemented with protein shakes. I also massage and apply heat before bed because I think increasing circulation to the breast area is beneficial. All I've had so far is some swelling when I wake up each morning but sadly it usually goes away by evening time. I'm definitely not giving up and I'll surely keep you posted on my progress and I'd love to hear how it goes for you. Oh I was wondering how old you are.. I'm 25 so it may take a little longer for me than if I had discovered this a few years ago. Best growing luck to you

i asked my doctor about diane-35 in regard to controlling my period better as well as cramps. if hasnt been revoked in canada, ive done some research and mostly what I have read has said that studies done on diane 35 being more harmful than other BC are fairly unfounded. i've talked to a few gynecologists in my city and they have all said they dont believe there is any greater risk taking diane-35 as a BC pill as opposed to other BC. im not a smoker so ill stay on it for my 3 month perscription and see how i feel. thanks for the info joy, ill start taking multi-vitamins when i start the program as well. i hope you see results soon, it will give me hope lol. im 19, so maybe ill have a little bit faster results *fingers crossed* but ill keep up with it regardless.

My gynae only switched me over because I specifically asked to try it for hirsutism relating to PCO and she went through the risks very carefully. Obviously all BCPs have the same cardiovascular risks but Diane is more likely to cause a problem apparently. I'm also in good vascular health and have no family history of cardiovascular problems, I've got low blood pressure, low end of the healthy weight range and don't smoke so I was willing to chance it.

question, ive heard that its best when your starting wonderup to take your pills and 6am, 12, then 6pm to start, then after or if growth starts to slow, chnage to farther apart time slots. when is everyone taking theirs? any advise on times to take the pills?

I think the idea is to space them as evenly as you can throughout the day so if you have 8 hours sleep take them fist thing in the morning, last thing at night and whenever will be halfway between e.g. 7am, 1pm, 11pm. I think in reality most people take when it's convenient, I take mine about 9am, 4pm, 9pm and if I forget a dose I either take 3 or 4 tablets at the next dose to make up for it. I think all these little things won't stop you responding if you're someone that responds well naturally.
