 3  birth control breast soreness and size increase, 5 lb weight gain, extreme bloating during PMS first month, increased appetite, fatigue, depression during inactive week, constipation This pill made my periods very light and managable, only 3 days, but the breast soreness is unbearable. I gained about a cup size, which is not cool when you are starting from a DD. My appetite has increased, which has resulted in weight gain. I was also constipated for about 2 weeks which had to be from the pill because I eat plenty of fiber. I finally took a laxative and things are now back to normal. I'm switching to Kariva mainly due to the breast size/pain issue. F 23 2 months

 4  Birth Control/low estrogen/painful First "active" days I get a headache, but other than that just went from a 34C to a 34D. I really like the fact that I almost have no period at all and my cramps are gone. It also comes exactly on schedule. I switched from Yasmin and have less emotional side effects. Gained weight with Yasmin, but none with Ovcon. F 26 5 months

 3  to shrink a complex cyst Increase in migraines that can only be treated by migraine medication. Other side effects are increase in appetite, fatigue, and almost a complete loss of sexual appetite. After one month the cyst did shrink but I still have another 2 to go before my next sonogram to check. Im not sure I can endure. I look forward to my 7 inactive days every month. This is not a drug I would use out of choice...Condoms are just fine for me for birth control when I need it. F 28 3 months

 2  Problems with ovaries Horrible headaches,nausea, and fatigue. I was recently prescribed Yasmin and started experiencing horrible migraine headaches (which I had never had before) so my doctor switched me to Ovcon and the symptoms seem to be the same. The headaches are slightly less painful but they are still there. Nausea hits due to the headaches. Still waiting for "transition period" to be over... F 29 8 days

 2  To prevent pains during period. Acne, I had an increase in my sex drive that quickly turned into a decrease. The pains have stopped, but I have had mood swings, crying for no reason at all, weight gain in the stomach area, irritability, extreme faigue and I'm only 18, headaches and nausea. I thought it would be a better alernative to the patch, but now I regret it. F 18 4 months

 3  birth conroll alot of acne about a week before period F 19 3 months

 1  birth control Acne the first month (it did stop), MAJOR breakthrough bleeding, clotting, very severe cramps, missed periods (taken several preg tests-neg. of course), month-long periods--dr. said it was my fault for not taking at the exact same minute each day. BEWARE when you go off this pill--the cramps and clotting will be unbelievable. After 2 months of a missed period and a month-long period, I stopped and paid for it. Back on again, starting my 3rd pack in 3 months and STILL having breakthrough bleeding, clotting, heavy periods and mega cramps. No sex--never not bleeding of some kind. This is absolutely CRAZY!! F 37 5 months

 1  birth control pill this pill made me crazy. this is absolutely the worst. i was on ortho cyclen and my doctor told me that this may help my hair loss but instead it made me absolutely a basket case. i really loved ortho cyclen but my doctor switched me to a generic and it was horrible and i expereienced bad side effects. i would give anything to go back to ortho cyclen and think i will as soon as the placebo pills start for this cycle. F 22 3 days
