Ovcon35 symptoms and conditions

I like it so far... but it's only been 4 days. Does anyone have anything positive to say to get my hopes up? I've tried ovcon35 and ortho-low and both made me really naucious from the start but this one only a little bit. I also lost weight on the other ones because I was always naucious and didn't eat but my appetite so far seems normal. I feel slightly lethargic but that's minor to me. My breasts feel a little tender but I'm an A so if it makes me a B I'll take the pain! haha...... I'll post again in a month once it's been in my system awhile.

I have been on Ovcon35 for about 8 months and have experienced the effects as everyone else. I started taking it to eleminate my periods b/c of endometriosis and I have only not had any problems for six weeks out of the 8 months. Since mid October I have not had any sign of bleeding for only five days out of almost two months. This is not normal I'm making an appointment with another ob/gyn to get a second opinion. This is driving me crazy and my husband is getting impatient.

Hi Ladies,

I did lots of research before getting on Yasmin and found it to be good but then I saw my weight go up and up and was like OH NO!! I got off of Yasmin in Dec of 2005 due to bad headaches and neasea, My period came in Jan, Missed it in Feb, Came late March, Missed it in April, came back on May 28th (Heavy!!!!) and has yet to go away and it's 7-21-06 already. I went to the obgyn two weeks ago and he gave me Ovocon35, he said to take 2 pills each day until the period went away, I have gone through 2 packs of Overnight Pads already! the bleeding won't stop. Finally Ovcon35 took the bleeding away but gave me extreame Neasea, headaches.. So I missed the pill 1-day and I have heavy bleeding again.. it's horrible!! The Doc just called and was about to give me Yasmin again, I was like? That's what caused the PROB! He said OH Ok, well here's a new one, So I have to go pick up Low Estrin now and by reading the reviews.. it seems more positive than Yasmin! Wish me luck! I feel like crap!

ive been taking ovcon35 for about four months for the last 3months ive had chronic diarea, im constantly tired wich is getting worse, pelvic pain,naseated wich i am still, persistent gas heartburn, and just reasently low back pain and i stopped haveing diarea last week 4 days after that i started abnormal bleeding. i was taking orthotrysyclen no problems and i never whould have thought my birth control would be the cause of all these unexplained symptoms!

I had been taking OVCON35 for 6 months now. As with most horomonal birth control, I experiencED very bothersome side effects. I tried to continue taking them to give my body time to adjust, but.... I've called it quits because 6 months/ 6 packs of pills is ample time. I'd have intense migraines accompanied by nausea & dizziness. Had I visited this site earlier, I woulda have been given up on this product. It's not good that 9 out of 10 responses are negative. Pass the news along- I definitely will.

Ladies,

I also started to take OVCON35 a month ago, I just started on my second set of pills and was going on week 2 when I decided to stop taking them. My main reason for taking them wa sbecause I always have very bad cramps on my first day of period, but been on OVCON is like Groundhog day, my first day repeats over and over again. Cramps all over, even worse than before, and mood swings at work and home, its very bad.

I have decided that I'll rather have one bad day of menstruation that I can make better by taking advil or tylenol than to be miserable and having to worry about bleeding unexpectanly.

Maybe we should all place a Law-Suit.

I am 26 years old... I hope this opinion helps.

I've been taking Ovcon35 for about 3-4 weeks and keep having spotting on an almost daily basis. I hope that this does not mean that I am not protected against pregnancy. I also feel moddier than usual.

I just started OVCON 35, yesterday due to 3 huge cyst on my ovary, I was just checking this site to see the side effects, I do hope I gain weight from it LOL..I've been 100 pounds since high school and now I'm 30..lol...( Scronny) so I seem to be tired today I have to take two pills a day for 3 weeks to see if my cysts get smaller or go away!! if they don't go away on OVCON 35 them I have to have them burst...OUCH!! I just hope the pill works and I'm not tired all the time, I haven't been on it long enough to really give any advise...But thanks for those who did!! I also want bigger boobs! SO GO OVCON35 !! DO YOUR THANG........

I just started Ovcon35 about a week and a half ago. Haven't gained any weight, no emotional rollercoaster, but I do frequently have nausea, the last two days my left calf hurts (but i do go to the gym on a regular basis) and have/had spotting for the last 3 days, i have cramps like i would during my period. I read somewhere that if you spot early, it could be a sign that the pill you are on is not the right dosage for you... so, I called my gyn with my concerns and was told that it's completely normal (which i was aware of.. but 1) i hven't even been on the pill a full 2 weeks and i'm spotting already? and 2) 99% of woman i've know has ever spotted, and if they did, it was certainly not in the first month of taking the pill.

ive been taking ovcon35 for about 4 months now, and for some reason for the 4 months Ive been on it I always star my period 3-4 days earlier and Ive been havin leg pain for the padt 2 months im getting concerned could it be blood clots in my leg viens I heard if that happens that I would have to get my leg amputated and frankly i would rather get pregnant than loose a leg, please let me know if this is normal, I have leg pains right now my leg feels tingly and cold Im very affraid shoud I go to the er.

I have been on Ovcon35 for 4 months now and cant wait to switch. For the first 2 months I was experiencing regular breakthrough bleeding on every Wed in the 2nd week of active pills. On top of that my periods started getting progressively lighter(2-3) days of almost nothing, and later, (last month I started on Tue, and this month I still didn;t start). I was pretty concerned until I read here that other women are experiencing similar symptoms, Another thing is the weight issue. I gained about 5lb and really struggled to keep it at only 5lb.!!!

I was having break through bleeding while taking Apri. My doctor switched me to Ovcon35 a few months ago. Since taking Ovcon I am starting to lose scalp hair by the handfuls. My hair is thinner than it has ever been. I did experience post-partum hair loss after giving birth but it never lasted this long or got this thin. I am very concerned. Should I keep taking Ovcon and hope my hormones balance out and my hair stops falling out?

I started taking Ovcon35 a month and a half ago and I have continuous abdominal discomfort, not just right after taking the pill. Is this a concern or will it go away?
