5 | birth control | Breast increased full cup size, increased sex drive, and no babies! I feel like I've been on EVERY pill there is and this is the first one that didn't completely diminish my sex drive or give me breakthrough bleeding. Every few months I get more PMS symptoms (bloating, cramps, tender breasts) but I feel that it is totally worth it to have my sex drive back! | I would recommend this pill to anyone. | F | 25 | 1 years | 3/27/2006 | 5 | birth control | I LIED. THIS PILL IS REALLY A 1. I HAVE GAINED 15 POUNDS AND HATE THIS. I NOT ONLY FEEL FATTER BUT AM NOW DEPRESSED and i have NEVER, i repeat, NEVER been DEPRESSED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. | TAKE THIS IF YOU WANT TO FEEL LIKE YOURE LIVING IN HELL. | F | 20 | 25 days | 3/25/2006 | 5 | periods | I am actually updating. At last report it had only been a week. Now it has been about 5 weeks and I still love this pill. I take it at night and no longer have any upset stomach. My skin looks great and I have not gained any weight anywhere - except my boobs. I have gained close to a full cup size. | F | 33 | 5 weeks | 3/24/2006 | 5 | IRREGULAR BLEEDING | I gained a cup size since December, which was fine with me but I also have a little tummy which I do not like. The first month or so I was emotional, however, I switched from Depo (which I became immune to after 8 years!) and that could be the reason. I have an increase in sex drive, though I did not in the beginning. Also, my period is either right on time or does not come at all. This is tough since I have an active sex life with my boyfriend. | The negatives are the tummy I have gotten and if I do not get my period the stress of going to get a pregnancy test. Since I have become immune to other birth controls I freak out when I do not get my period! | F | 28 | 4 months | 3/21/2006 | 3 | preventing | | 3/20/2006 | 4 | Regulate Periods (PCOS) | The first few months I experienced headaches, waves of slight nausea, loss of sex drive, breast tenderness, slight moodiness, and I still have a decreased appetite. No noticeable weight change, but definite problems wearing contacts continue. | Ovcon regulated my periods immediately. My period is now so light that I can't even wear tampons anymore (which is both good and bad!). Still experience slight cramps, but not to the degree of what they were before the pill. Other than contact issues (I had to switch brands, and still have dry/sticky eye problems), I'm very happy with this pill. | F | 25 | 6 months | 3/18/2006 | 5 | heavy periods | Some nausea, grew a cup size, nipple tenderness week before period, depending on the month either an increased sex drive or no sex drive at all, mood swings-i'll start crying for no reason, easily frustrated. | Great pill.. just sucks to pay $45 because insurance doesnt cover it. | F | 20 | 8 months | 3/17/2006 | 2 | birth control | nausea and fatigue during the first week of each pack, severe headaches and moodiness during the last few active pills. I am so cranky and iritable just before my period all through the placebo, then I get sick for 3 days when I start a new pack. | I'm asking my doctor to prescribe something different. | F | 30 | 8 months | 3/16/2006 | 2 | cysts, prevent pregnancy | upset stomach, mood swings, bloating, breakthrough bleeding every two weeks into pack | not helping, still have cysts, still having breakthrough bleeding, cramps, upset stomach, cry all the time, just an unpleasant experience! i was on estrostep fe for over a year and was good until i started breakthrough bleeding.. | F | 18 | 4 months | 3/11/2006 | 4 | PREVENT PREGNANCY | FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS UPSET STOMACH, HEADACHES AND GAINED 8 POUNDS. | THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT PILL FOR MYSELF. IT HAS CONTROLLED MY PMS SYMPTOMS. | F | 27 | 2 years | 3/10/2006 | 3 | PCOS | nausea, dizziness the first couple of months, Prolonged periods (up to 14 days), cramping, slight weight gain, mood swing and breast tenderness... | When i started taking Ovcon I experienced a spike in my sex drive which soon went away and also a slight change in my breast size! All in all the pill works good so far. | F | 20 | 4 months | 3/8/2006 | 1 | birth control | THE WORST EVER. I felt like my body was slowly dying --like I was sick with an infection of some type. I have had a severe headache ever since I have started taking this headache that won't go away, my muscles ache like I ran a marathon, and I have been crying every night for no reason. I am not a person that suffers from depression, but with this pill I feel like the world is against me. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS.......you feel like death. I took Yasmin before and felt like a queen compared to this. Now I am dying to go back. Someone please SAVE ME. | it sucks.......................save your money and go wtih another brand. | F | 20 | 7 days | 3/8/2006 | 3 | cramps, birth control | Slight weight gain, breast tenderness, swollen breast. | I have noticed in the time I have been taking Ovcon that my periods seem to come a week before I begin taking the white iron supplement pills. **If there is anyone experiencing the same thing please write and let me know I am not the only one.** | F | 20 | 3 months | 3/6/2006 | 4 | regulate hormones and period | Bloating, breast tenderness, weight gain | This has helped me in reducing my testosterone levels, which were very high, and had caused spotting for 2 weeks before i started the pill. Now i am normal. | F | 27 | 2 months | 3/1/2006 | 1 | pregnancy prevention | Two periods a month, always hungry, mood swings and fatigue. | Not only did I have two period A month but I also became pregnant with TWINS. I havent missed a pill and was taken it on a timer. So much for the 1%. This pill doesn't work like its suppose to. | F | 24 | 6 months | 2/28/2006 | 5 | Periods were weird | I have only been on a week and so far the only thing I have experienced is upset stomach. At this point, I am cutting the pill in half and taking it before bed and then in the morning. That seems to be working. Absolutely NO weight gain or bloating yet... not even that "fingers are a little bloated" sense. I have gained in my breasts though. They are quite noticeabley fuller and firmer - and they're not in the least bit sore. | F | 33 | 1 weeks | 2/27/2006 | 4 | heavy period | breast tenderness, migraine, nausea, moodiness (Irritability) | I was put on Ovcon 35 due to a rpolonged heavy period while using the Paraguard IUD I've had for two years. Mt midwife advised me to take 2 pills a day until the bleeding stopped and then to finish out the pack. In 2 days, I felt like I had morning sickness, severe morning sickness. I have 3 children all ready. On the 3rd day I went to 1 pill and the morning sickness feeling is going away. I've been on BCP before in college and I had migraines everyday and gained weight and my face broke out. All in the first pack of pills. SO far, this has been a much better experience and I might even consider removing the IUD and using Ovcon. I would love to have shorter and lighter periods. | F | 33 | 4 days | 2/27/2006 | 1 | | 2/27/2006 | 1 | Physician prescribed | Fairly sure that I am pregnant. Also feeling light headed, and VERY emotional. Again, this can be due to the fact that I am in fact pregnant (though I have not missed one pill) or the pill is simply overwhelming for my body chemistry. | I have been taking birth control (generally Orthro Tri Cyclen) for 11 years now and had never become pregnant, until now. Offered to switch over to Ovcon 35 by my physician...HUGE mistake. | F | 30 | 60 days | 2/26/2006 | 3 | Birth Control | I've only been on this for 1 wk but I've been nauseous since the 4th day, I was so dizzy I had to leave work and have not been back, constantly feeling ill, diareah, headaches almost constantly, and now for the last 2 days I'm having weird cramping feelings deep in my stomach. | This is my 1st ever bc so I'm going to try to stick it out a little longer but I'm VERY quickly running out of sick days!! I missed almost 2 1/2 days of work the first week!! Please help if you can!! | F | 24 | 1 weeks | 2/25/2006 |
