Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

All birth control medications, including Diane-35, can cause a decrease intensity and duration of the period.

When the medication is discontinued, the period can last a longer period of time. This does not occur in all persons but it is a possibility.

I hope this helps.
