 4  pelvic pain/endometriosis/cramps The first couple of months experienced breakthrough bleeding(though I had unexplained bleeding beforehand), felt sick to my stomach, and went up one cup-size (sore breasts) which was not a desired effect for me. These effects stopped by month 3 or so. I hardly have any period now, just spotting for a couple days and cramps are significantly reduced (yea!) Still have some pelvic pain during weeks 2,3,4, but much better than before. I am satisfied b/c it has helped me with my issues, but I'm not sure if I'd recommend this pill to someone who is looking for birth control. The lack of periods would have made me nervous in my younger, supposedly fertile days. F 39 7 months

 5  Ovarian cysts/Birth Control None!!!! I am actually on the chewable version of Ovcon-35 which is called Femcon Fe. My doctor said it is the same, they just changed names since it is chewable. I have been on it for a month and a half and from day 1 I have not experienced any side effects. I haven't had any breakthrough bleeding and I got my period exactly when I was suppose to. I haven't gained any weigh either! I love this birth control!!! F 21 1 months

 2  birth control Nausia, breakthrough bleeding CONSTANTLY, headache The first month was fine, i only had slight nausia but now its constant light bleeding and my stomache hurts constantly. I did just switch from the patch which may be why the change is so dramatic. Its really not the best method out there in my opinion but i didnt have any babies and my breasts grew slightly. F 18 3 months

 3   None with original Ovcon-35 but with Blaziva replacement cramping, bloating, weight gain, breakthrough bleeding, headaches, and dizziness. Does anyone else have the same symptoms on Balziva. I was perfectly happy on Ovcon-35. I was able to diet and lost 30 pounds. Since being on Balziva 2 months I keep gaining and losing the same 5 pounds. It's impossible for me to lose weight...Anyone else with the same problems? Why did they switch to Balziva???? F 29 2 months

 2  stop clotting after giving birth Constantly bleeding! It stopped for a few days but ive been bleeding for the last 2 months! Which is making my sex life suck with my fiance! I took birth control to stop the clotting after having my son not to ruin my sex life with my fiance. Yea we dont want another kid right now but we would like to be able to have a sexual relationship and at this point it hasnt existed in 2 months! I will be stopping the pill at the end of this pack. F 21 4 months

 4  Ovarian Cysts The first month that I was on Ovcon 35, I experienced back pain, nausea, and extreme moodiness. I also had a very light cycle so I was afraid that I was pregnant. I ended up taking 4 pregnancy tests and all were negative. However, I didn't have any problems the second month. I was given Balziva by the pharmacists for the 3rd month. I am in the third week of the packet and I have started experiencing really bad cramps and nausea. Has anyone else had problems with Balziva? F 34 3 months

 5  Ovarian Cysts/Endo/BC NOT A SINGLE ONE I had very light break through bleeding on this pill in the first 3 months, but now I am going on 1 year and I LOVE THIS PILL. I take it continually (no periods!!!!) to control my endometriosis pain. I had gained about 5 lbs, but I am relatively sure that is due to my love of pie. This pill is amazing, I would recommend it to anyone looking for continual birth control due to ovarian cysts and endo. F 20 1 years

 4  To lessen heavy bleeding None This BCP was great, but this month CVS gave me Balziva and marked the package as a new formulary. This period has being going on now for TWO weeks. Terrible cramping, very heavy bleeding, then no bleeding for one day, then back to extreme bleeding(thru a super tampax and a mini pad in about two hours). What is up with this pill taking over from OVCON? F 50 2 months

 5  prevent pregnancy Hi. I have been on ovcon for about a year now and i loved it! No side effects at all! But, than about 2 months ago i had to start taking the generic kind Balziva and since i've been on that i have experienced break thorugh bleeding ( alot, not just spotting) and am feeling bloated alot. When it is time for my real period, my cramps have gottong worse and i am extra bloated and it is alot heavier. When i was on ovcon35 my period only last for 2 days and i had no bloating or breakthorugh bleeding. Could the generic version be giving me these side effects? If anyone could help it would be great! I loved ovcon bring it back! F 22 1 years

 4  DUE TO CRAMPS Moody and emotional I loved this pill!! I was so upset that they discontinued it just ALL of a sudden. I presently ended up taking the Balziva birth control pill and my sex drive is gone. I did not have this problem with Ovcon-35 AT ALL. Therefore, I am getting ready to try a chewable birth control pill that my gyn recommended that is in place of Ovcon-35. Can't wait to see what happens. F 33 28 days

 2  regulation chewable caused me to feel anxious and heart burn... I was on ovcon 35 for over 15 years and LOVED it. They recently switched to a chewable tablet(that you can also swallow) This pill contains sucralose(like splenda) and caused me to have increase feelings of nervousness, etc. I just asked my Dr to write me a perscription for Balziva which is the generic for the original ovcon 35. I am very dissapointed that the original was changed. F 36 15 years

 4  period regulation, birth control breast tenderness, bloating, irritability I have been on Ovcon for over 3 years now...looking at some of the other long-termers, yes, it has produced the least side effects...however the belly weight gain and breast tenderness is more noticable now. I have even recently increased the amount I exercise, and still no difference. F 30 3 years

 5  Regulation, severe cramps For the first 2 months I was bloated, had headaches and stomachaches. After that, no side effects. I have been on at least 5 different birth control pills. Most of them I get extremely moody, lose my sex drive, still have horrible cramps, and remain completely unregulated. My Dr has me on the new GENERIC form of this drug (which most insurance covers) taking placebos every 3 months and I love it. My periods are actually regulated and light, my cramps are almost gone, I have a sex drive, and no mood swings. I love it! F 24 3 months
