| 2 | Endometriosis | Constant headache, continuous spotting, crazy mood swings,lots of blood clots | I started Ovcon a month ago for supression and I've had a headache ever since, I still have severe cramping 24/7 and the spotting is annoying. I've been on many different birth control pills in the last 5 years, and this one is almost the worst, but I have to see if my body adjusts. | F | 18 | 1 months | 9/10/2005 | 2 | Ovarian Cyst | Severe Nausea, Extreme emotional outbursts (crying all the time), Someone said thank you to me and i started crying, Cramping...I have been on it for almost a week now. Should i give it a chance or should i discontinue use? | F | 25 | 7 days | 9/9/2005 | 2 | trying to shrink a dermoid cyst | my periods are out of wack; sore breasts; bloated; emotional | I have been on this pill for 3 months now. The first month I think I bled the entire month. Not too heavy, but just annoying. I have not had my period since. I seriously thought I was pregnant. I purchased two pregnancy tests and learned they were negative. This last month, I can't even begin to tell you how sore, swollen and tender my breast are. I swear, I feel like someone gave me implants. They are very firm and feel like they are about to bust. When I take my bra off, I let out a loud moan! I too, have gained probably 7-8 lbs. This stinks. Dermoid cysts are not fun! Having surgery 10/25 | F | 29 | 3 days | 9/8/2005 | 1 | contraception | headaches, my esophugus feels like I burned a whole in it!! I am eating a lot, I am crying over nothing, and I feel light headed. My period was longer than usual, which is annoying. Also, I can't sleep at night, and my breasts are tender. | I am not happy with this contraceptive AT ALL, I have been on ortho tri-cycln lo and none of this happened before. I am more scared that I have created acid reflux due to these pills. | F | 23 | 11 days | 9/7/2005 | 1 | Extreme Breakthrough Bleeding | More Break through bleeding, extreme cramping, bloating, abnormal blood clots, found that when you miss taking dose within a half hour, major abdominal cramping & btb | Filling tampons at the speed of light, the first week was great, no periods, which is why I started taking it, started second week of pills and began bleeding again. My doctor says to "continue to take it for another month and see if the symptoms change." | F | 28 | 12 days | 9/2/2005 | 2 | Regulating period, birth control | Severe depression, no weight loss | I had a hard time taking off my baby weight. It came off quickly until I began taking Ovcon and then it plateaued and has seemed impossible to lose an extra pound. It also has caused severe depression. I will have to discontinue taking them--maybe try to switch back to Ortho-tricyclen. | F | 25 | 6 months | 9/1/2005 | 2 | Pregnancy prevention | I have had very sharp abdominal pains that was followed by breakthrough bleeding. I have been on an emotional rollercoaster and feel as if I am pregnant. After 17 days, I can not fit into my pants. | I am getting married in 1 month, and with the emotional basketcase that I have become, I'll be lucky if that day still happens. The bleeding is awful. I don't know whether to wear a liner or pad or both! I will be going off of this pill as soon as the active pills are done. Great birthcontrol. I have no desire to have sex. | F | 30 | 17 days | 8/30/2005 | 3 | birth control | a second period, weight gain, and headaches | I started taking the pill to make sure i won't get pregnant before getting shipped out over seas. I don't like having a second period during the second week of pills. I guess I'll see if they stop if not I just need it till I leave in Janurary cause I won't do anything over there. | F | 23 | 11 days | 8/24/2005 | 1 | Fibroids; adenomoysis | Very heavy irregular bleeding with very large blood clots; breast enlargement for the first month; leg pain; crying jags; bad cramping and back pain. | I have fibroids which led to anemia; I am on Lupron to stop my periods and was put on progestrone for help with side effects. Progestrone led to black/brown discharge and occasional cramping so doctor switched my to Ovcon. What a mistake; in the one month + since starting the pack, I have been bleeding almost everday, sometimes going through Superplus tampons every five minutes. Thinking about switching back to Alesse. | F | 42 | 34 days | 8/24/2005 | 3 | contraceptive | Well, I've been feeling very nauseous, but not right after I take the pill, so maybe it's from something else. Also, starting my period before I start the inactive pills, which is extremely inconvienent. | MY PILLS HAVE BEEN BREAKING IN HALF! This makes me very uncomfortable. Nurse tried to say maybe I wasn't punching pills out right, which is BS, I've been on BC for 5 years - OrthoTriCyclen for 4 years, OrthoTriCyclenLo for 1 & now this. Never EVER had pills break on me before & I would keep them in the bathroom w/ high humidity! I want to switch back to OrthoTriCyclen as that one never gave me one day of problems & I was on it for a while. | F | 21 | 5 months | 8/19/2005 | 1 | Birth Control | Massive weight gain, irregular periods. | I have gained over 30 pounds since taking this pill. I used to be a size 3 now i;m a size 10. this pill sucks. I hate it and will be switching soon. Missed my period for a whole month and very light the month before. | F | 21 | 4.5 months | 8/17/2005 | 3 | hormone level was low | Severe fatigue, 5-10 lb weight gain ( I was 120lbs when I started) ,breakthrough bleeding, My breasts have grown almost 2 cup sizes and they are extremely tender. | My usual pre-period breakouts have subsided, I no longer get night sweats or hotflashes. I enjoy the bigger bust size. The weight gain and fatigue are starting to get old I love to run its hard when all you want to do is lay in bed because you can't keep your eyes open. | F | 27 | 3 months | 8/15/2005 | 4 | contraception and acne | I'm only in the first month but I have had breakthrough bleeding, probably because I switched from a long time use of the patch so I figure it is normal. Other than that I have had no other side effects from Ovcon 35. | I really like Ovcon 35 because it increased my sex drive and cleared up my acne. I am just waiting for the breakthrough bleeding to stop which it should in the next month or so. | F | 18 | 3 weeks | 8/10/2005 | 5 | contraceptive | none | F | 20 | 3 months | 8/9/2005 | 5 | reduce pms symptoms,regulate period | The first two months it increased my acne slightly and I had breakthrough bleeding. By the third month I had no more breakthrough bleeding and my acne started to improve alot. | I think this pill is a great drug. It greatly reduced my pms symptoms and its easy to take everyday. It's like candy! | F | 20 | 3 months | 8/9/2005 | 4 | Prevent Pregnancy | Spotting, MUCH lighter periods. | Since taking OVCON I usually spot for one day 1 week prior to getting my period. Last month I didn't get my period at all and this month I only spotted for 2 days during the time I should of had a period. If this is going to continue then I am loving this pill! | F | 30 | 5 months | 8/8/2005 | 1 | heavy period, bad cramps | IM PREGENANT!!!!! | this shit doesn't work, i've taken it for almost a year and only been sexually active for 4 months. | F | 18 | 1 years | 8/4/2005 | 3 | Prevent Pregnancy & Severe Cramping | Well I'm extremly tired/fatigue. Nauseous and odd appitite, like nauseous one miniute and hungry the next. I feel like I'm pregnant! And I take the pill at night with dinner. I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt since I just switched from Estro Step and only been taking it for 3 days. I hope it sudsides! | Besides the annoying side effects, it does it's job of less severe cramping. Never had any break-through bleeding, with any of the B.C. pills I've taken. (Yasmin and Estro-step) Well see how it goes. | F | 23 | 3 days | 8/3/2005 | 3 | contraception | extreme nasea, somewhat bloated. | my first birth control pill..i feel so shitty and like i'm about to vomit every five minutes. other than that, its totally worth it..? | F | 17 | 5 days | 7/26/2005 | 3 | prevent prengnacy | mid-cycle bleeding since started taking Ovcon almost 5 months ago. I am having 2 periods a month, usually during 2nd week and again at the 4th week. The 2nd week period usually lasts 5-7 days with few cramps. The 4th week period lasts 3-5 days. Sometimes I will have a period at the 3rd week and lasts all the way through the 4th, making my periods lasting almost 2 weeks! I was hoping this would clear up by the 3rd month but we'll see how this month goes. I am at my 2nd week of pills for my 4th month and will see if I once again have 2 periods this month. If so I am asking my OBGYN about other brands. | Seems to work fine if you don't mind having 2 periods every month. I don't like that. If it clears up great, if not I am changing brands or methods of birth control. | F | 33 | 4 months | 7/25/2005 |
