| 1 | light bleeding during ovulation | Awfull dizziness, breast tenderness,cramps which I never had before,rash on face and between breasts, more spotting betweet the periods,inconsistent periods - bleed one day, then nothing, then again bleed, overall longer bleeding. One week after I started the pill the hell broke - for 6 weeks since then I'm experiencing the worst vaginal infection that's keeping me awake at night and drives me insane in the day time. Antibiotic and two treatments with viginal cream helped just a little bit. Unbearable burning. One week even the face was burning and eyelids were red and impossible to touch. Area between breasts became supersensative to touch - after showering it was red for 2 hours! Slight rubbing of the skin somewhere else also left redness for several minutes. Never had anything like this in my life! Stopped taking the pill after 3 weeks - all simptoms are gone except the vaginal infection. | It was the worst experience of my life. I was a hudred times better prior to taking the pill. Never again! | F | 47 | 3 days | 6/4/2006 | 3 | Regulate cycle | depression, acne, bloating, augmented breasts | Honestly, before taking Ovcon, my skin was my favorite thing about myself. Since starting this pill, I actually have a considerable amount of acne and very, very dry skin (I do naturally have sensitive skin, so this could also be a cause). I'm really hoping that it goes away soon!! However, my periods are definitely lighter and I do like having bigger breasts. | F | 18 | 3 months | 6/3/2006 | 5 | Relieve Awful Cramps Before Period | Side effects -- Breast tenderness week or two before period. | I LOVE THIS PILL! My breasts have DEFINITELY gotten bigger, which I LOVE. I haven't gained much weight, easily lost w/ daily exercise. I never felt depressed, it even feels like its helping my PMS 100 percent! Also, MY CRAMPS ARE COMPLETELY GONE! The reason I went on the pill...love it! | F | 21 | 6 months | 5/26/2006 | 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 The comments mentioned may be outdated, so if there is anyone out there that hasn't had problems recently, or has tried anything else with minimal side effects, please let me know.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 | | 5/25/2006 | 1 | birth control, regulate periods | MAJOR bloating, weight gain, appetite increase, mood swings & depression | I had a horrible experience with this one. I was switched to ovcon from ortho-novum to help with breakthrough bleeding. Over the years, I taken probably about 5 different brands of birth control pills and I NEVER had such a bad experience as this. I didn't connect it with ovcon at first because when I started ovcon, I was also stopping a series of antidepressant medications that I'd been taking for years but finally felt stable enough to do without. Everything that happened as a result I thought was due to stopping the antidepressants but I'm suspecting it was all due to ovcon. I took ovcon for 5 months. Besides nausea, I had MAJOR bloating and water retention and HUGE weight gain. I felt like I wasn't even in my own body but a strangers. Appetite shot way up. I was never full, no matter how much I ate. I got terrible swelling in my ankles and fingers and feet. Breasts felt huge. All I wanted to do was eat. Depression and ennui set in. I had mood swings like you wou | F | 28 | 5 months | 5/21/2006 | 1 | birth control, regulate periods | MAJOR bloating, weight gain, appetite increase, mood swings & depression, libido nonexistent | I NEVER had such a bad experience as this.

I had mood swings like you wouldn't believe. Libido nonexistent. It worked for helping control the breakthrough bleeding but hardly was it worth it with all these side effects. The swelling finally sent me to the doctor, it was so uncomfortable. Dr. could find nothing wrong--blood pressure, blood te | F | 28 | 5 months | 5/21/2006 | 2 | bleeding | 8-10 pounds weight gain, fatigue, cramping, back aches | F | 36 | 6 days | 5/19/2006 | 2 | bleeding, birth control | 8-10 pounds weight gain, fatigue, irregular cramping, back aches & heachaches | I didn't have any irregular bleeding but the other side effects are terrbile. | F | 36 | 6 months | 5/19/2006 | 3 | Fibroid Tumors/ BC | Nausea first 2-3 days.

I am a person who usually has a lot of energy but I am fighting to make myself do anything let alone stay awake. I also usually eat next to nothing and am rarely hungry but since i've started taking these pills I cannot stop eating. Its driving me crazy. And the depression is making me nervous. I had a battle with depression a few years back and I feel like Im slipping back into it when I have no reason to. I'm wondering which would be worse...the pain or these side effects. | F | 20 | 2 weeks | 5/17/2006 | 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 | 5 | regulate period | just recently ive had my period for like 9 days heavy-light-none when i think its gone its back it kinda blows IDK? | n/o | F | 19 | 1 years | 5/16/2006 | 4 | contraceptive | break through bleeding, mood swings | Not quite as moody as i was while taking Orthocept, which is why I switched to Ovcon.
