| 3 | preventing | | 3/20/2006 | 2 | BIRTH CONROLL | Extreamly moody. I have been very sad as of 2 weeks after I started take this. | 2 months | 2/6/2006 | 2 | birth control | Sometimes I feel ok..but often i suffer from anxiety attacks/trembling/rage..loss of period..spotting..nausea..rash on my face..sex drive low..breasts got a little bigger..no weight gain..overall better than 'the patch' but not satisfactory.. | 29 | 2 days | 5/17/2006 | 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 | | 7/17/2006 | 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 | none | F | 33 | 8 months | 11/23/2007 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 |
