| 3 | birth control, control PCOS symptom | I vomited for two days. Found that I need to take this pill with food and not right before bed. I started bleeding HEAVY the second week. I hope my hair doesnt fall out, as I already have hair loss from PCOS. I hope this helps! | M | 25 | 9 days | 10/1/2005 | 3 | cramps, mood swings, and heavy flow | I started taking the ovcon 35 3 years ago and just recently was switched to the chewable version. My doctor promised me this was exactly the same as the ovon 35 but as soon as i started taking it, i experienced breast tenderness, yeast infection and severe mood swings. I have also been on the ovcon 50 and did not experience any of these side effects. | M | 19 | 3 years | 2/21/2007 | 3 | regulate periods | extreme mood swings, depression, tired, lots of unexpected bleeding | M | 23 | 6 weeks | 9/28/2004 | 3 | Birth Control | Depression, Moodswings, Anxiety, Vaginal Dryness, Low Lobido. | This is my first month on Ovcon 35 and it's been pretty rough. I was on Loestrin 24 fe before I switched, and it was rough with that pill as well. With Ovcon, I've felt overwhelmed with symptoms of depression, as well as anxiety. Although, the side effects now seem to be lessening somewhat. | M | 21 | 3 weeks | 9/15/2007 | 2 | birth control | extreme cramping, blood clots between periods, feeling bloated mood swings | Is it really chewable? Maybe that's my problem. No one told me to chew it! | M | 20 | 9 days | 11/17/2004 | 1 | Ovarian Cyst Prevention | Extensive nausea, extreme breast tenderness (first month and 1/2), cramping, backache, 'breakthrough bleeding' (hoakie BS term meaning: bleeding when u aren't supposed to be) TIA!! | I just got out of the hospital, and I was told by both a neurologist and cardiologist to permanently go off of ovcon 35. I experieanced a TIA. I am a nonsmoker, and I am 32 years old. I took no other medications besides for the pill, and will never take it again. | M | 32 | 3 months | 5/8/2005 | 5 | Birth control | light bleeding if i forget to take my pill for 2-3 days but other then that nothing | only bc i'v been on and i had sex after a week of being on the pills and didn't get pregnant which was surprising because i didn't use other protection i like this pill and dont' plan on changing unless i start to get bad side effects email me if u have questions | F | 18 | 3 years | 4/22/2005 | 5 | to regulate period | No side effects. | This was the best move i ever made. i have had no side effects unlike the several other birth control i have tried. | F | 23 | 5 months | 2/9/2005 | 5 | Birth Control | headache for the first two days of inactive pills | have actually lost weight after gaining 75 lbs on depo-prevara I still have not gotten my period and have started my second pack but, I was on depo for 1.5 years and never had a period so my dr said this is normal for the first one or two months I went on depo after the birth of my daughter because I became pregnant on ortho tri-cyclen while taking an antibiotic (my dr forgot to tell me about that side effect) and was a little weary of bc pills but this one has proven good so far | F | 21 | 2 months | 4/4/2005 | 5 | To regulate my cycles | None at all. | F | 31 | 2 months | 4/18/2005 | 5 | severe cramps and back aches | spotting after my first period, slightly increased sex drive, mild cramping during the month | i started taking the pill on the first day of my period and after the normal 5 days of heavy flow there was very light spotting for 2 or 3 days. First period while on the pill was much lighter and easier than in the past, only lasted 4 days instead of 5. I haven't been on it for that long but so far i love it. First birth control pill i've ever used. | F | 20 | 1 months | 5/20/2005 | 5 | Endemetriosis | No side effects! | Ovcon is wonderful, it has had a real effect on the severity of my cramps, and has regulated my period immensly! Because of the endemitriosis I have this is the best pill I have ever been on! Definitly recommended! | F | 19 | 1 years | 4/20/2005 | 5 | Birth Control | With OVCON/FEMCON - None except larger breasts, Short periods, and some BTB if I took a pill late (none of which I find horrible) With BALZIVA - TONS! weight gain/bloating, bad cramps, severe migraines | I was on Ovcon for about a year & a half with little to no problems before getting switched to the generic Balziva which I tried for 3 months. On Balziva I gained weight the first month and had some cramping but I thought it would go away. Unfortunately, it just got worse and that is when the migraines started. I could not take it anymore so I recently switched back to Ovcon/Femcon and can't wait for things to go back to normal. | F | 26 | 2 years | 4/12/2007 | 5 | Regulate periods | First month was not fun, long period. Second month was fantastic, very short period. I have not gained weight; I am losing weight, but not just due to starting this drug. I believe I was a little over-emotional the first month as my body was adjusting, but now I feel great. I have very long cycles when not on birth control, and this is doing a great job of regulating and causing me to have lighter and shorter periods. | I am on a generic of this drug. | F | 34 | 72 days | 11/8/2007 | 5 | birth control | NONE!! | Have been taking OVCON for 14 years now. Just recently tried Balziva because it was covered by my insurance but it was terrible. I switched back within 2 months. I will stay with OVCON and pay the extra money. | F | 30 | 14 years | 11/3/2007 | 5 | endo and cramping | weight loss, cleared up acne, no longer in pain. | I am 34 with two children, have not ever been on BC, but find this pill to help with my constant discomfort from endomet. I thought I would gain weight,but have actually lost a few pounds. | F | 34 | 7 days | 6/1/2005 | 5 | heavy bleeding | MUCH easier to manage my weight, no periods, hormones under control | This is, to me, a miracle drug. After taking it for 5 years, I switched to Sprintec to save a few bucks at the pharmacy. What a mistake that was! After 6 months of extreme crankiness on Sprintec, I switched back to Ovcon three months ago. Ahh, back to my normal self again! | F | 44 | 5 years | 3/30/2007 | 5 | Birth Control | The first month I was on this pill, my breasts got HUGE - went up two cup sizes! But they deflated after I got my first period and I have never (sadly) experienced that side effect. Other than that, virtually no side effects, except spotting if I miss a pill, take it late, etc. | I really like this pill. I have been on three others (ortho tri-cyclen; ortho-cyclen, and demulen) and had low sex drive, weight gain, acne, and a host of other problems with these other pills (demulen was a bit better than the ortho's but made me very depressed). Since I've been on Ovcon 35, I've been very fortunately symptom free - especially if I take them right on time! | F | 21 | 3 months | 3/13/2005 | 5 | Regulate Periods | Mood Swings | I have been on Ovcon for a while now, and it's been wonderful. My periods now are on time and regular. I had tried 1 other brand before this. | F | 26 | 2 years | 10/15/2004 | 5 | Birth Control, Help with bad cramps | Breast Tenderness, Irregular peroid until my body got use to the medicine. | My boobs grew! So far a great BC! | F | 20 | 1 days | 6/20/2005 |
