 5  birth control none I started taking Ovcon about 5 years ago, and I switched to the generic Balziva. I love this pill! I only have a period once every 3 months, and when I do have a period it is so light, and lasts only 1-2 days. F 36

 1  Ovarian Cyst I am supposed to begin taking Ovcon in a few days, but quite honestly, after reading all the comments, I'm a little scared. The comments mentioned may be outdated, so if there is anyone out there that hasn't had problems recently, or has tried anything else with minimal side effects, please let me know. F 42

 4  regulate periods (PCOS) increased energy, augmented breasts, increased acne slightly Worked for regulating period and for stabilizing my mood (I used to get my period once every 8-12 weeks and so would have PMS depression and moodiness for 2-3 weeks, this kept the whole cycle to 28 days between moodiness).

 4  birth control, heavy period, moodin This is the only birth control that I've ever been able to take without becoming intolerably moody (about the tenth one I've tried). Increased libido. Fuller breasts. I do have some nausea, and slight break outs which I've never had before, but I also have extremely light periods that last four days instead of extremely heavy nine day periods. Very pleased. F 21 1 days

 4  prevent pregnancy, control bleeding I have had no problems with Ovcon 35 but the generic Balziva I started getting cramps and headaches. I have also tried Femcon Fe the chewable which I had no problem just the first week a bit dizziness and it went away. I have been on Ovcon 35 for a year and a few months and even when I was not sexually active I still took it because of it helped with my cramping and lighter periods. My breasts did get bigger but no weight gain. F 23 1 days

 3  Endometriosis,12dayPeriod,Moody This is day #1 and I took the pill and within 3 and a half hours I felt very sick and thought I was gonna vommit. In 2003 I had surgery for my endometriosis, did Seasonale, Lurpon injections, etc. Now my cycle is back to being around 12 days. I decided to do some research and that is how I ended up here. Reading some of these e-mails, I am not sure I should be taking this one. I do not need it for birth control purposes. I am just in a lot of pain during my cycle and very moody. F 28 1 days

 2  large ovarian cist Being nauseous SUCKS! The first night (last night) was absolutely dreadful. I felt like I was going to get up all night to throw up. I hardly slept at all which kept my boyfriend up as well. Neausea is by far the worst for me right now. I'm not sure this is the medicine for me, but I HAVE to take it because of the cist on my right ovary that's the size of a lemon... I hope things get easier. I'll continue to update because I'm stuck with it for at least a month. F 23 1 days
