| 5 | endo and cramping | weight loss, cleared up acne, no longer in pain. | I am 34 with two children, have not ever been on BC, but find this pill to help with my constant discomfort from endomet. I thought I would gain weight,but have actually lost a few pounds. | F | 34 | 7 days | 6/1/2005 | 4 | pregnancy prevention | My breasts were already a 36c as is but for at least 3 weeks out of the month they are HUGE. Sometimes I experience severe naseau. I can tell I am a little thicker or snugger fit in my clothes so I guess a little bloating. My nipples get sensitive at least a week before my period. My period is maybe 3 days. Other than the HUGE, uncomfortable breast thing....this has been pretty good so far. I have dealt with totally horrific side effects with the pill before so I was very afraid to try the pill again. | F | 26 | 6 weeks | 5/31/2005 | 1 | prevent ovarian cancer/hormone bala | where do i begin? im on my 3rd week very tired blah,weight gain, major bloat,pain in lower abs,headaches,mood swing & the best one is bleeding on the 11th active pill thats the 2nd active week & hasnt stopped yet. This is ridiculous its bad enough we go through our normal woman stuff. This is horrible Im discontinuing this pill in four days my active pills end & i supposedly get my Period um hello what is all this bleeding i have now??? breakthough bleeding my butt. | its not worth this | F | 26 | 3 weeks | 5/31/2005 | 4 | pregnancy prevention | At first, I had no side effects...but recently I have been experiencing headaches, painful cramps, and my body feels weak. I'm not sure if this is because my body is changing or if Ovcon is doing this to me. | It helped to stop my break through bleeding. I was put on ovcon because I was hemmorging inbetween periods. I haven't had any break through bleeding since I've beeen put on Ovcon. | F | 22 | 2 years | 5/27/2005 | 3 | prevent: pregnancy/acne/weight gain | Nausea during the first 3 days of starting, and feeling really | So far I am on my 8th day and I still have a light period. I don't know if this is normal but my Dr. said to stay on it for a full 2 months to get the full effect. Hopefully I will be satisfied completey with this pill. | F | 20 | 8 days | 5/27/2005 | 1 | switched from alesse | nauseous extremely nauseous... i woke up today throwing up like crazy...(and i took the pill at night with food) ive been taking it only one week and ive gained five pounds...(and i eat right all the time and work out every day)..scary...im switching off of this today | not worth it | F | 31 | 5 days | 5/27/2005 | 3 | birth control | depression, mood swings, irrability, bloating, breakthrough bleeding, slight fatigue and am normally quite active | Put on this BC because of breakthrough bleeding from previous BC, depression/mood swings are new to me!...and not fun!...going to give it a few more months to see if it 'evens out' - if not, going to change... | F | 33 | 2 months | 5/25/2005 | 5 | severe cramps and back aches | spotting after my first period, slightly increased sex drive, mild cramping during the month | i started taking the pill on the first day of my period and after the normal 5 days of heavy flow there was very light spotting for 2 or 3 days. First period while on the pill was much lighter and easier than in the past, only lasted 4 days instead of 5. I haven't been on it for that long but so far i love it. First birth control pill i've ever used. | F | 20 | 1 months | 5/20/2005 | 2 | prevent pregnancy | mood swings, bloating, swelling of breasts --- all within 4 days of start of pill | ---- Really research different birth control pills, if the first one doesn't agree with you. I thought, the first one would be fine since I have no history of significant health problems, but this particular daily dose of a pill has altered me (physically and/or emotionally/mentally). It was the first pill I have ever taken on a daily basis and well...... not for me..... | F | 26 | 4 days | 5/19/2005 | 1 | birth control and regularity | BLOATING!!! Long heavy period! | I just started this pill last week and I have NEVER EVER been so bloated in my life. My periods usually last about 4-5 days and this has been on-going for over a week! Teraring through tampons too! I will definately switch back to Ortho Tri-Cyclen | F | 24 | 10 days | 5/19/2005 | 4 | prevent pregnancy | headache that lasted two days, nausea the first few days, spotting, moodswings | besides the sideaffects i like it, had unprotected sex and im not pregnant | F | 21 | 3 weeks | 5/16/2005 | 2 | regulate cycle | Nausea,Mood swings,Fatigue--i was going to sleep by 7pm.Headache, hotness like a fever, but not!!slight acne and im on prescriptive acne medicine.Spotting.I would like to have sex, i dont want to bleed all the time!!!!!!!!!! | I took the pill for 4 days & experienced these side effects.Stopped for 2-3 days, started w/headache and spotting. Im going to switch. I feel like im pregnant again! if anyone has any positive w/this med,,,, please let me know!!!!!!!!! | F | 28 | 7 days | 5/15/2005 | 1 | PCOS | I have Type 1 Diabetes, and this bc pill caused very high spikes in my blood sugar (Unexpected highs in the 300s--my bs level is usually around 80-100). My insulin would not bring them down again. In addition to this, I was very moody while taking the pill, but this could have been due to the high BS levels. After going off of this pill after 6 days, I started very heavy bleeding and severe cramping. I was bleeding through an overnight pad every 1 1/2 - 2 hours. | I was highly dissatisfied with this birth control pill. I am calling the doctor for another bc method or pill tomorrow. | F | 28 | 6 days | 5/15/2005 | 3 | endometriosis/birth control | So far, I have cried a lot. I cried at Mcdonald's the other day because they were out of sweet & sour sauce. Seriously, I'm a basket case. I've been taking Ovcon 35 for about 6 days now. I'm nauseous, emotional, tired and now bleeding for 3 days. Had my period last week. | If anyone else is experiencing the emotional setbacks, breakthrough bleeding, that has been on this for a few months, e-mail me! I'd like to know when it stopped. Also really looking forward to the swollen breasts. Saw that one patient on this site went up 2 cup sizes. If I can have that, I'll deal with the ridiculous crying! | F | 26 | 6 days | 5/14/2005 | 1 | excessive bleeding | weight gain! Acne,breast tenderness,mood swings, and I now cry at everything. | Even with great insurance I'm still paying $44 a month for a pack. | F | 30 | 8 months | 5/9/2005 | 1 | suppress ovarian cysts | nausea and bloating | F | 33 | 2 weeks | 5/8/2005 | 1 | Ovarian Cyst Prevention | Extensive nausea, extreme breast tenderness (first month and 1/2), cramping, backache, 'breakthrough bleeding' (hoakie BS term meaning: bleeding when u aren't supposed to be) TIA!! | I just got out of the hospital, and I was told by both a neurologist and cardiologist to permanently go off of ovcon 35. I experieanced a TIA. I am a nonsmoker, and I am 32 years old. I took no other medications besides for the pill, and will never take it again. | M | 32 | 3 months | 5/8/2005 | 2 | Ovarian cysts | Breast enlargement(yuck), random bleeding/spotting(yuck), moodiness enhanced(yuck). I used to be on Yasmine, which I loved, because of ovarian cysts occuring on both sides of my ovaries, but being that the government won't cover birth control my samples ran out as did my drs offices samples...so he switched me to Ovcon and what a mess. | I have been | F | 25 | 3 months | 5/6/2005 | 1 | Regulation and Birth Control | acne, tender breasts, early onset of period every month for the last four months | This is the fourth bc pill I have tried and it has yielded the worst results! I'd rather have my regular 5-day period with a little cramping than not knowing how early and how long I'm going to have my period when I'm on ovcon! | F | 25 | 4 months | 5/6/2005 | 3 | Birth control | breakthrough bleeding | I went through 3 full packs of this pill, and I had two periods a month the entire time -- one at the beginning of week 2 and one when I was supposed to at week four (placebo week). I will say that this pill, unlike others that I have taken, was not a libido killer. However, trying to find a time to use this good libido is getting more frustrating, though, as my period cycle is one week on, one week off. | F | 36 | 3 months | 5/4/2005 |
