I GOT A FULL-BLOWN PERIOD WITHIN THE 2ND WEEK OF THE PILLS(MY FIST MONTH OF THEM). i HAVE TRIED AT LEAST 7 OTHER BIRTH CONTROLS AND NEVER HAD THIS. THEN OF COURSE, ONCE THAT ENDED THE PILLS ENDED SO I GOT MY PERIOD YET AGAIN....SEVER CRAMPING...TIRED FEELING THAT WONT GO AWAY-EXTREMELY DEPRESSED, BITCHY,AGGRIVATED, WANT TO KILL EVERYONE! (NOT LITERALLY)..NOT YET ANYWAY!THE PERIOD ARE HEAVY, WHICH NROMALLY MY PERIODS ARE RATHER LIGHT, AND I USUALLY GET BAD CRAMPING BUT USUALLY BIRTH CONTROL HELPS THE CRAMPING. NOT THIS ONE!! MY DOCTOR HASNT HAD THE LOVELY CHANCE OF SEEING ME SINCE I STARTED THE PILLS. I HOPE HES PREPARED FOR THE SCREAMING! I STOOPED THE PILL 2 DAYS EARLY BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WOULD DIE IF I TOOK IT ANYMORE | DO..NOT...TAKE... | F | 22 | 25 days | 4/30/2006 | 1 | regulate menstrual cycle | Breakthrough bleeding after taking this pill on the 4th day. I'm already on my 18th day of bleeding. My Dr. is going to switch me to another pill today. | Felt bloated, naseua and a little depressed. | F | 38 | 22 days | 4/27/2006 | 5 | cramping befor and after periods | It feels like I'm retaining water, feeling bloated like I've been eating alot but haven't. I feel like a big water balloon. Not to mention breast tenderness. They feel heavy since I started taking the pill. | It looks like my skin is clearing up, not that I have bad ance, it just looks clearer to me. My breast looks firmer it's possible that they are growning which is a plus, but time will tell. So far so good!! I like it! | F | 21 | 1 months | 4/25/2006 | 2 | cysts/concraceptive | I had a lot of nausea, migraines, severe depression, extreme moodiness. Persistant pelvic pain that did not start until I started Ovcon-35 and would stop if I would stop taking the pill, very very painful, heavy, long periods. | I had my doctor switch me to another BC that was a lower dosage. I was not at all happy with Ovcon, other than I did continue to lose weight on it | F | 24 | 8 months | 4/25/2006 | 3 | birth control | nausea the first week of the month the first two months, bad moods/depression the first month, and breakthrough bleeding the last few days before taking the last active pill every other month | Most of the negative side effects went away after the first two months, and only happen occasionally now. I had no bloating, headaches, or constant light depression, which I've had with many other pills over the years. I was very happy with it from month 2 until last month. I liked that my breasts were larger and skin was very clear, but, during the last month, all of a sudden my face is breaking out, my breasts are smaller, and I feel a little depressed again. I'm not sure why this sudden change. | F | 31 | 6 months | 4/22/2006 | 4 | I had irregular periods, very heavy | I acutually had a loss of appitate and lost weight the first month. I did notice my Breast got larger, but that is not a loss. I did have spotting the first 2 weeks which was not fun, but taking it each morning at the same time has helped alot! | F | 25 | 1 days | 4/20/2006 | 3 | Heavy periods | Not sure if related but am experiencing the worst (unexplained) vaginal infection that's keeping me awake at night. Have not had a yeast infection for almost one year since taking acidophilus. Started ovcon 6 days ago and vaginal cream has not kicked in yet after 2nd day of usually effective treatment. Symptoms are getting worse. Also light spotting which is not a big deal as I have experienced far worse. | I'm sorry I cannot rate this medication accurately as I have not experienced a period yet. | F | 36 | 6 days | 4/19/2006 | 1 | prevent pregnancy, regulate period. | where do i begin? This is the longest menstrual cycle I ever had,14 DAYS. HORRIBLE!!! | F | 22 | 14 days | 4/18/2006 | 4 | Birth Control | I had headaches the first couple of days but they seem to have gone away since. | I am very happy with it so far and I would recommend it. I was taking estrostep and it was horrible! | F | 19 | 1 months | 4/17/2006 | 1 | birth control | I am terribly annoyed with the break-through bleeding. I feel as though i'm in bad nightmare where I bleed 3 out of 4 weeks of the month. THIS IS HORRENDOUS. I have cramps throughout the entire month. Additionally, I was a total basketcase the first two months on the pill. I was so depressed at the beginning of my period last month that I could hardly motivate myself to get out of bed. I didn't leave my house for an entire week. Untypical behaviour because I eat well (mostly raw, organic foods) and excercise almost everyday, and am very social by nature. I want the bleeding and cramping to stop. My sympoms are getting progressively worse. I'm ready to quit this pill at the end of this cycle. NO THANK YOU, OVCON-35. | I did gain 5 pounds, became overly emotional during pms time. No bloating and little breast tenderness. | F | 25 | 3 months | 4/17/2006 | 2 | birth control | I had a week of breakthrough bleeding the week before my period every month. One month my period came a week early and I still had a week of spotting after. I had terrible mood swings and depression and would sometimes cry for no reason, and once or twice I even had HEART PALPITATIONS. | I didn't stay on this pill long at all. It's totally traumatized me from other pills too. | F | 19 | 3 months | 4/12/2006 | 5 | endometriosis | Some weight gain (10lbs.) but I have tried more than 6 other pills and have almost gone insane! I love how I feel since taking Ovcon-35.I have some spotting between the three week dose but loving this med.!!! | Not every pill works for every woman, this is the one for me and I am in love with it! | F | 32 | 6 months | 4/6/2006 | 3 | endometriosis | Have been on Ovcon for almost a month. I have never had cramps until now. Three pound weight gain and brest tenderness beyond belief. Was bleeding most of the month on other pills though and have not on this one. No headaches, no real fatigue. Had some slight stomach irritation but it has passed. Most concerned about the weight gain. I work out one to two hours a day and had been losing weight. I have found the weight gain to be very discouraging. | F | 37 | 15 days | 4/6/2006 | 5 | birth control/period | occasional headaches the first few days of sugar pills | I love this pill. My periods are very light and never last more than 4 days which we all know is a blessing. Minimal weight gain-mostly in my breasts and no bloating whatsoever. I highly recommend it! | F | 19 | 1 years | 4/3/2006 | 4 | long periods/cramps/birth control | When I first began taking Ovcon I had some breakthrough bleeding. After the first couple months I noticed my periods getting much shorter and my cramps are virtually gone. It's Great!! My breasts grew a cup size! but at times are tender. No loss of sex drive and no mood swings. | F | 18 | 1 years | 4/3/2006 | 5 | ovarian cysts/birth control | No negative side effects - very happy with this medication. Had multiple ovarian cysts prior to using Ovcon 35....after 9 months, I currently have none. Stopping ovulation leads to stopping the cysts from forming. Helps my skin as well, no weight gain (actually might have lost a little!) | F | 26 | 9 months | 4/2/2006 | 3 | Prevent Pregnancy | Nausea. Stomach Crampz. and my breasts are SOOOO tender!! and they have swollen a lil bit. | F | 18 | 14 days | 4/2/2006 | 3 | Prevent Pregnanacy | I feel like I am having Morning Sickness. This is only my second day on it though. | F | 29 | 2 days | 3/29/2006 |
