| 3 | preventing | | 3/20/2006 | 3 | F | | 6/26/2006 | 2 | Breakthrough bleeding | Break through bleeding | This pill did not control my symptoms. I actually would start my period 4 days early each month which was a pain!! | 5 months | 2/13/2007 | 2 | Period Regulation | I started off by taking Yaz, which just didn't cut it to regulate my period. So my ob/gyn switched me to Ovcon, for about a month it helped me by regulating my period then the other side effects started. I couldn't sleep during the night, then I was tired all day. I had horrible cramps during my period and major mood swings. Also, I had a strong feeling of nausea before my period started. It really helped me by reading other women's comments about the effect of this pill because at first I thought it was just me. So now I'm calling my ob/gyn to find out what would be better for me to take. | F | 4 months | 4/25/2008 | 2 | | 7/17/2006 | 2 | BIRTH CONROLL | Extreamly moody. I have been very sad as of 2 weeks after I started take this. | 2 months | 2/6/2006 | 1 | | 2/27/2006 | 1 | | 3/31/2005 | 1 | Birth Control | None with Ovcon-35. With Balziva I experienced severe depression. Enough to ask for help. Low (like zero) sex drive. I didn't have a problem with the periods, but lots of headaches, serious allergy problems. | I was on Ortho Evra for almost four years. Never had a problem with it, just got tired of worrying about whether it would fall off one day. I got on LoEstrin for a few months, but found i couldn't afford it. So, my doctor put me on Balziva. I've been on it for a little over two months, and I'm not taking it anymore. DO NOT TAKE THIS PILL! The depression is HORRIBLE, and, while I'm hoping that the depression will stop now that I'm off of it, I worry that it won't. I've had to seek counseling, am failing at school, and no longer like the things I used to. STAY AWAY FROM IT! | 9 weeks | 11/19/2007 | 5 | Birth Control | Breasts got larger, VERY tired the first week on it but i got over it somehow, breakthrough bleeding a week before placebos (period lasted about 2 weeks) but it significantly decreased my flow, i'm finally able to use tampons!!! (so the whole 2 week period thing didn't really bother me) | I love this pill. I read this site before taking it and I got scared because of all of the bad ratings, but this pill ended up working perfectly for me. My skin greatly improved also! I didn't gain any weight, but I did get bloated a few times. I actually think I might have lost some weight. My cramps during my period have almost diminished which I love. I didn't plan on taking this pill to help me with my period, but if me and boyfriend ever break up, i might just stay on this pill. | F | 15 | 1 months | 6/7/2006 | 3 | control period | the first week i was very nausiated. When I worked out I would get funny looking to where all my friends were worried. I have had quite a few pimples pop up.I have been moody and tired. | F | 15 | 7 days | 2/5/2006 | 5 | So I wouldn't get pregnant | None | F | 16 | | 8/9/2004 | 4 | pregnacy prevention | nuasea, headaches, swollen breasts, and loss of appetite at times | i'm hoping i have no weight gain as some other patients have complained about. if anyone has had similar side effects durring the first full week of taking Ovcon-35 please email me! (i'd like to know when it fully stopped or if it ever did) | F | 16 | 7 days | 7/19/2005 | 3 | bad cramping and prevent pregnancy | I have a period every 3 weeks and I am tired alot, loss of appetite but I am gaining weight. Breast tenderness and mood swings | It helps with the cramps and it reduced my acne. | F | 16 | 3 months | 12/1/2004 | 3 | acne | none | easy to use | F | 16 | 3 months | 6/5/2004 | 3 | Regulation, acne prevention | mood swings--never experienced this before...like i'm bipolar or something, breakthrough bleeding (period every other week), severe headaches, cramping, clears acne | my acne hasn't cleared as much as promised... | F | 16 | 5 months | 1/4/2006 | 4 | irregular period | weight gain (about 5-6 pounds so far), breast enlargement (im happy about this part!), & cramps for the first month (which i never had before) | the first month my period was still irregular but ive been on it for about 3 months and it has been very predictable & regular for the past 2 months. im not happy about the weight gain but it seems to be slowing down (ive also started exercising now). overall a good pill for me, but i might switch just to prevent further weight gain. | F | 17 | 3 months | 2/4/2006 | 3 | birth control, cramps | bleeding between periods? | i havent been taking it long but lately i have been noticing slight bleeding and it has been worrying me. its not like blood though, its kind of like chunks. ive only been taking it for a month so ill continue to take it but if this | F | 17 | 1 months | 11/2/2004 | 3 | regulate period | i was doing good until i forgot to renew my perscription..i got my new pack on tuesday and i was supposed to have it on sunday...i bleed lightly the whole month..it was scary for me | i want to try another brand or the bc shot but my doctor said no when i talked to him...i want a new doc. who will listen to my problems :( | F | 17 | 10 months | 12/1/2004 | 3 | contraception | extreme nasea, somewhat bloated. | my first birth control pill..i feel so shitty and like i'm about to vomit every five minutes. other than that, its totally worth it..? | F | 17 | 5 days | 7/26/2005 |
