I need to switch soon. | F | 20 | | 4/19/2005 | 2 | birth control | contant headaches & nausea | I was on this for about 9-10 years before giving birth and never had a problem; nice light periods, felt totally normal. When I went back on after I was done breastfeeding I was given the generic Necon 1/35. I had headaches all the time, felt sick to my stomach constantly. I finally went off of it. I recently went back on it and plan to only be on it for three months; I want to avoid my getting my period as I have two triathlons that fall right when I am due to get it. The symptoms are again, horrible. Now I remember why I went off of it in the first place. | F | 42 | | 5/28/2009 | 1 | birth control / cramp control | severe blood clots in lower region | amputation of both legs within 14 months of each other required | F | 46 | | 4/11/2006 | 3 | to stop bleeding | Headache, anxiety, nervousness, difficulty breathing, diarrhea, loss of appetite. | I have suffered from General anxiety disorder but, its been under control.

Will not be taking it tomorrow! | F | 51 | 1 days | 11/22/2014 | 2 | pregnancy prevention | Rapid weight gain, severe mood swings, crying at every little thing, sleepiness all of the time/fatigue, no sex drive* (my poor hubby) bad cramps | F | 26 | 1 days | 3/26/2008 | 1 | Ivf | Extreme leg and feet pain/cramps, very tender breast, fatigue, panic attacks, mild nausea, mood changes. | This pill caused me symptoms from day one. The leg and feet pain/cramping were most alarming as those are signs of clots. Got checked, they say mo clots but the pain is STILL there. Somedays so severe it hurts to walk. Dr has no experience with others having this issue but from what i see on here others have had this as well. | F | 35 | 1 days | 11/16/2017 | 4 | Break Through Bleeding | Cramping in low back, big clots being discharged at same time as back pain. Shorter period | Got adjusted at my chiropractor and low back pain and cramping diminished Greatly. New to pill, but very happy with it.

Swollen lymph nodes and neck, sore throat, abdominal cramping, bloating, very achy, tired, dizzy, sinus headaches and sweaty, also some minor tingling in my feet and hands, desire to eat with no appetite, chest tightness and rapid heartbeat when sitting and laying down. Is it possible that these symptoms were due to the bc or am I just paranoid and actually sick. Should give it a longer trail period? | I'm so confused what might be a possible bc pill for me, as I'm hesitant to go back to OrthoTriCyclen and OrthoTriCyclen-lo because they caused such awful depression and anxiety, I thought a monophasic would be better?

I took this pill when I was bleeding, the first day it completely stopped my period, then the next day i've started spotting/light period. It's been 4 days now, and still spotting.

I have had painful, irregular periods and cysts for most of my life. I was on Yaz and had breakthrough bleeding and so my Doc switched me to this pill. I have never had such a severe reaction to a pill in my life. It made every issue I ever experienced increase 100%. I bleed constantly, I have severe cramps almost the entire 28 days. I can't enjoy intercourse because I am constantly worried about bleeding (which happens almost every time) I experience anxiety and shortness of breath, especially in the mornings. I feel like a monster on this. It makes me feel like I am losing my mind. I am switching to Loestrin as soon as I finish my last week on this pill. Terrible experience. | F | 30 | 5 days .035 1X day | 1/12/2012 | 2 | Perimenopausal/heavy bleed/long . | Nausea,Vomiting, Constipation/at first real soft stools. Some headaches, TIRED ALL THE TIME AND IF I EAT THE NAUSEA GETS SO MUCH WORSE!!!! | I am on Necon 1/35 my dr put me on it to stop the amount of bleeding and the length of time. I have very little and break through bleeding for about a week and then I bleed real heavy for 3 to 4 days and then light and break through again for about a week skip a week and start all over so it feels like I am always on my period and this is what the dr is trying to fix if not I will have tol have a hysterectomy.. However the way I feel on this pill I would rather have the surgery, it may be the high dose of 4 pills a day I have had to take a pack of pills in 6 days and the next pack I will take 2 day, The way I feel I am not going to be able to finish this round of treatment! Good luck toanyone that has to take this med in this way! | F | 38 | 6 days 1/35 4X day | 10/4/2010 | 1 | To prevent Pregnacy | Very heavy bleeding the fifth day, cramps, mood swings, very argumentive, and emotional. | I did not like this pill at all and I have only been on it for almost a week.

But some people get it good and some get it bad.. | F | 15 | 6 days 1/35 1X day | 2/27/2013 |
