Ive been on Femcon fe for about 4 months, I was without a period for like 6 months prior to this. The docs then put me on a medication to start my period and then Femcon to keep it regular. This was all done to find out if there was a need to have surgery on the fibroid that is on my uterus. I have experienced the worse migraines in my life on this pill. I get them on and off every hour. The really bad ones leave my right side of my face and arm to where I cant move it. I can barely open my eyes and when I can, the vision is blury. Right now I dont have a migraine, but by the time I finish, im sure I will. They come that regular. I take esgic for the migraines but it does not help. The migraines are too strong. My sex drive has increased a lot since I got on this pill. But what I have trouble with is when i am about to have a orgasm, I get a very BIG migraine. Its very umcomfortable and I am going to contact any office I can find about this pill. My doctor has told me to stop taking this pill b/c of the complications it has caused in my body. I use to have hair down to my shoulders, but now all of my hair comes out in my hand or the comb or brush. I have patches of hair missing in my head and the longest my hair is now is about a inch or two. When I wake up in the morning, its like Im in the early stages of pregnancy. I feel sick to the stomach and light headed. I take my pill right before bed. Ive also experienced a little depression, but not much. I know how you ladies feel and I hope that one day, we can find a good birth control. Thank you.

I've been on Femcon for about 3 wks now and honestly I thought that my husband was overacting in reference to my moodiness. He says I go from 0 to 60 in 1 second. So I thoughT w/me having a 2 mo. old that I was just tired and exhausted from being a new mother. But, now that I've read the other responses it's really made me do a self assessment. The main thing that has occured is that I've been loosing a tremendous amount of hair which is very uncommon for me. As you stated I have hair down to the middle of my back and for the last 2 wks I've noticed more hair being in my comb. Don't let me run my fingers through my hair I can pull out more than 15 strands at a time. Which make me really upset due to I thought it was stress and me returning back to work. Luckily this is my first pack and a sample from the Dr. but I will discontinue this pill IMMEDIATELY!!!!!! THE MOODINESS IS UNBAREABLE...
