 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

 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

 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

 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

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

 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  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  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

 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

 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

 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

 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
