I've been on Diane since last year June, simply to help my skin clear up. I have been told that it's a mild contraceptive - meaning that I could easily fall pregnant. if I don't use extra protection. How true is this? One more thing - if I do stop ( which should be in the next two months), how long after that could I fall pregnant? when would be the best time to conceive?

Diane blues....please help!!!
