3 | Birth Control and Bad Crapms | The first week of taking the pill I had really bad nausea and headaches. It seems to go aways after the first couple of weeks. Also, really bad mood swings the week before my period. | Despite the side effects, I've been on this drug for three years and I think it really does work. Most of the side effects have gone away and I'm still not pregnant, so no complaints. | F | 21 | 3 years | 4/27/2005 | 2 | birth control | mild depression, cramps WORSENED | This was the first pill I ever took. Before ever using bc my cramps were severe, on ovcon they were excruciating. Also, I threw up after only 3 beers the second day I was on it. Not so much fun. | F | 21 | 3 months | 4/25/2005 | 5 | Birth control | light bleeding if i forget to take my pill for 2-3 days but other then that nothing | only bc i'v been on and i had sex after a week of being on the pills and didn't get pregnant which was surprising because i didn't use other protection i like this pill and dont' plan on changing unless i start to get bad side effects email me if u have questions | F | 18 | 3 years | 4/22/2005 | 4 | Prevent Pregnancy | Frequent Headaches, increased appetite, moody, and slightly bloated feeling | i was worried that i would gain alot of weight while on the pill but i have not. i was hoping that my breasts would grow but they have not yet, but i have only been on the pill for almost a week now. | F | 18 | 6 days | 4/22/2005 | 2 | prevent pregnacny and ovian cysts | I have been bleeding for over eight days now and I am still taking the active pills. I normally have a 2 day cycle so this is rreally driving me crazy and I have only been taking the pills for one month, I will give it three months to see how it all turn out. I have even gottten acne while taking the pills for the last thirty days, this has to get better or else I will never take another form of birth control again, especially since my breast has gotten much fuller and I am putting on extra pounds. | F | 34 | 30 days | 4/22/2005 | 5 | Endemetriosis | No side effects! | Ovcon is wonderful, it has had a real effect on the severity of my cramps, and has regulated my period immensly! Because of the endemitriosis I have this is the best pill I have ever been on! Definitly recommended! | F | 19 | 1 years | 4/20/2005 | 3 | birth control | The very first night I took it, I was extremely nauseous, but I don't know if it was because of the medication or because I ate too much...I feel like it might have been the pill, though. I felt a tiny bit nauseous the first week or two, but since then I have felt normal. For the first 2 packs, I had irregular bleeding (with the first pack I bled for 17 days!). The third pack, all was normal, and now I'm on the fourth pack, I spotted for the full week before my period. I don't know if this is because I have started to take it at varying times, or if it is not working. I am waiting until my next cycle to see if it is normal. | If I become regular, then it seems to be working just fine. | F | 19 | 4.5 months | 4/20/2005 | 4 | to prevent pregnancy | During the first month, i had major breast tenderness, and nasuea.. then, that all went away.. and I felt normal. | There were times that i took them a bit irregularly, and when that happenedd, i had a period for about a month straight. It did prevent pregnancy, which was the main objective. | F | 29 | 6 months | 4/19/2005 | 5 | To regulate my cycles | None at all. | F | 31 | 2 months | 4/18/2005 | 2 | Birth Control | I have had continual breakthrough bleeding! | It is sooo annoying. I will be fine for about a week or slightly longer, but two to three weeks a month Im spotting! Very annoying! My boyfriend thinks Im more emotional and | F | 23 | 2 months | 4/15/2005 | 1 | birth control | missed periods, lots of weight gain, headaches, cramps | In the 5 months that I have been on this pill, I have missed my period 4 times. Each time I miss it I test to see if I am pregnant and have always recieved a negative result. I think I would much rather have my period than wonder if I am pregnant each month! | F | 20 | 5 months | 4/13/2005 | 3 | Birth Control | I have been spotting through out the month, Also there I some months I haven't got my period at all. | I amn't sure if this pill is right for me and I have been scared of getting pregant. | F | 20 | 1 days | 4/10/2005 | 4 | to regulate periods | I gained a little weight and my breasts went up a cup size. | This pill has helped me immensely. Instead of 2 week periods that occurred without notice, I now have 3 day periods once a month. I love that my periods are finally regulated and much lighter. | F | 24 | 2 years | 4/9/2005 | 4 | regulate periods (PCOS) | increased energy, augmented breasts, increased acne slightly | Worked for regulating period and for stabilizing my mood (I used to get my period once every 8-12 weeks and so would have PMS depression and moodiness for 2-3 weeks, this kept the whole cycle to 28 days between moodiness). | F | 28 | 4 times | 4/6/2005 | 5 | Birth Control | headache for the first two days of inactive pills | have actually lost weight after gaining 75 lbs on depo-prevara I still have not gotten my period and have started my second pack but, I was on depo for 1.5 years and never had a period so my dr said this is normal for the first one or two months I went on depo after the birth of my daughter because I became pregnant on ortho tri-cyclen while taking an antibiotic (my dr forgot to tell me about that side effect) and was a little weary of bc pills but this one has proven good so far | F | 21 | 2 months | 4/4/2005 | 3 | Birth Control | Extreme nausea, breast growth, occasional fatigue, shorter and lighter periods. | When I first began taking ovcon-35 I became extremely sick to my stomach every night--most nights I threw up more than once. However, after talking to my doctor I changed the time that I take the pill and no longer experience that side effect. My breats have become larger and firmer since beginning Ovcon. My periods used to be 3-4 days in length but are now 1-2 days in length and much lighter. MUCH better than Depo-Provera. | F | 18 | 3 months | 4/4/2005 | 3 | BC | So far a lot of mood swings and breast tenderness. There's been a little weight gain (5 pounds or so) but I'm not going to say with certainty that it's related. | F | 17 | 1 months | 4/3/2005 | 1 | birth control, endometriosis | pregnancy | I got pregnant twice while on this pill. Once I missed one day but made it up the next day as directed (and the packet says not to use anything else), the second time I didn't miss any | F | 22 | 9 months | 4/3/2005 | 3 | birth control | bloating, highly emotional (crying at things that normally did not make me cry), occasional headaches, fatigue more than usual (i'm an exercise enthusiast) | does not give me facial discoloration unlike my previous birth control pill | F | 34 | 2 years | 4/2/2005 | 1 | to prevent pregnancy | very emotional, crabby, unhappy | I have been on Ortho-Novum for 20 years with no side-effects. I couldn't get to the gyno for refill in time so she just gave me this pack of pills to hold me over. I will never take them again! | F | 38 | 2 weeks | 4/2/2005 |
