Hello,
I emailed you back on Nov. 27th but I haven't heard from you. I hope you received the following email. Please let me know.
Hi Stacey,
Thanks for your question. Of course, I'm not a medical doctor so have you checked with your physician about this matter? I just read an article about Diane 35 and it said that this product should only be used temporarily and not solely for birth control but only for severe acne. However, the side effects sound really scary. I don't think I would recommend this at all. Also, depo provera has some side effects and risks as well as the weight gain. Is abstinence an option or Natural family planning? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and we can discuss more.
