| 2 | Prevent Pregnancy | Taking since Oct. of 04' till March of 05' had breakthrough bleeding every month. I did not gain weight which was nice but had mood swings and depression. | I am now switching to the new Nuvaring and am hopeful that this will work for me. | F | 25 | 5 days | 3/31/2005 | 1 | regulation, cramps | vomiting, mood swings, depression | I have tried almost 7 diff. kinds of pills and this one was the worst for me. It intensified my emotions and made me very sick. as soon as i switched vomiting and depression disappeared. | F | 20 | 4 months | 3/31/2005 | 1 | | 3/31/2005 | 1 | Prevent Pregnancy | severe cramping...bleeding non-stop...moodiness like never before. I've been in a bad mood since I started taking it over 2 weeks ago. Bloating...I'm having a bout with depression, and this particular form of birth control is known for making depressive symptoms worse. After going to my OB-Gyn, I'm convinced that she just randomly gives out medication without doing any real research. I am switching back to Trinessa. Since I want to burst into tears constantly, and I'm bleeding non-stop, there is no chance that my husband will want to be near me, so I guess the birth control is working in a sense. | F | 30 | 2 weeks | 3/30/2005 | 5 | Birth Control | The first month I was on this pill, my breasts got HUGE - went up two cup sizes! But they deflated after I got my first period and I have never (sadly) experienced that side effect. Other than that, virtually no side effects, except spotting if I miss a pill, take it late, etc. | I really like this pill. I have been on three others (ortho tri-cyclen; ortho-cyclen, and demulen) and had low sex drive, weight gain, acne, and a host of other problems with these other pills (demulen was a bit better than the ortho's but made me very depressed). Since I've been on Ovcon 35, I've been very fortunately symptom free - especially if I take them right on time! | F | 21 | 3 months | 3/13/2005 | 4 | Prevent Pregnancy | Little nausea the first week. Other than that, none at all. | I had been on Seasonale for the past year. It was great only having a period every 3 months; however, I gained over 30 lbs. and had severe migraines. Ovcon is great! I have had no side effects. I am actually loosing wait and do not feel bloated all of the time. I have no more migraines or headaches. So far, I am happy with Ovcon. | F | 34 | 2 weeks | 3/10/2005 | 2 | regulate hormones/prevent pregnancy | swollen breasts/spotting the first week of every month/heavier periods/mood swings/at least 5 lbs of water weight gain/stomach aches & head aches | F | 19 | 3 months | 2/21/2005 | 1 | Birth control, ovarian cysts | Inconsistent periods, break through bleeding for months, breast tenderness, upset stomach, bloating on left side,fatigue, severe depression, never have one period a month, always have two periods, the first starting on day 12 or 13. | I take the pill every day at the same time and it has really screwed up my reproductive cycle. I am quitting. This pill should be re-examined by the FDA and pulled from shelves. | F | 23 | 7 months | 2/12/2005 | 1 | pregnancy prevention | wieght gain, SERIOUS spotting, mood swings, 2-week period, and mild cramping that lasted throughout my cycle | The worst decision I have made! I bled lightly for an entire month, became emotionally unstable, and had a heavy period for over two weeks. I guess you can't get pregnant if you can't have sex, right? | F | 18 | 2 months | 2/11/2005 | 5 | to regulate period | No side effects. | This was the best move i ever made. i have had no side effects unlike the several other birth control i have tried. | F | 23 | 5 months | 2/9/2005 | 1 | to prevent pregnancy | 2-3 periods per month | After taking this pill meticulously and dealing with having 2-3 periods a month, I became pregnant. I guess I am part of the 1% statistic now. I took it every day as directed, never missing a pill, normal weight (5'4 | F | 22 | 1 years | 2/9/2005 | 2 | ovulation pain | extreme mood swings, anxiety, back pain | I am sensitive to hormones and this just wasn't the combo for me. | F | 30 | 7 days | 2/7/2005 | 5 | Birth Control | Breakthrough bleeding and frequent post nasal drip (never had problems with this before). | Breakthrough bleeding disappeared after first 2 months. The last 2 pills I tried caused weight gain and mood swings; since starting Ovcon I have lost weight and my moods are regular. | F | 22 | 1 years | 2/3/2005 | 4 | pregnancy prevention | nausea in the beginning, increased cramps, swollen breasts | my body got used to it | F | 19 | 1 years | 2/2/2005 | 5 | Birth Control | The first month, I had extremely tender breasts, mood swings, cramps and loss of sex drive. After two months, my body became use to the bc and now I am side effect free. | My skin cleared up and I didn't have any weight gain. | F | 21 | 10 months | 2/1/2005 | 2 | Migrains, weight gain, cramps, depression, tender breast. | I switched from the patch because it made me depressed. OVCON-35 is not as strong as the patch, but I was upset when I gained the weight and started to have cramps during my periods. Also I am spotting and my breast became tender; I almost thought I was pregnant. I think I would rather go back to using other contraceptives than trying another birth control that makes me depressed. | F | 23 | 4 months | 1/31/2005 | 3 | pregnancy prevention | breakthrough bleeding, mild cramps, breast tenderness, nausea after eating, fatigue | normally I have very regular periods but while taking this pill I have been bleeding the entire time and seem to be having a permanent period that's just milder all around than usual. | F | 20 | 2.5 weeks | 1/24/2005 | 1 | Prevent Pregnancy | I am experiencing heavy, continous bleeding for two weeks when my normal, pre-Ovcon periods lasted only 4 - 5 days. My doctor advised me to stop taking this pill. | My doctor said that this is the strongest B.C.P. available and is primarily designed for women who are overweight. The high-level of estrogen creates a thicker lining in the uterus, which may result in a longer timeframe for shedding...thus the longer menstrustation cycle. | F | 31 | 3 weeks | 1/23/2005 | 5 | Regulate Period and Pregnancy | Nausea at first, now just a headache about a week before my period. | This pill didn't agree with me at first, but then my body adjusted. My periods are much lighter and shorter. I used to have severe cramps, where i couldn't even get out of bed, now they are hardly felt. | F | 26 | 3 days | 1/20/2005 | 2 | endo | 7 lb. weight gain in the first week | F | 25 | 1 weeks | 1/17/2005 |
