I'm on my 2nd month of taking Femcon. The first week starting it, I had heart flutters and anxiety, then coinciding with depression and mood swings. I was patient though and all of that subsided. Throughout this entire time, I've had occassional nausea in the first few hours after I wake, but no vomiting. My ankles have been continuously swollen since on it, and I'm generally just bloated, I have to take a water pill to relieve some of it. My breasts have been tender, off and on, since I started taking it. By the end of the 1st pack, I figured I was ok, I had my last period just a little over a week ago. A week after my cycle had ended, I started spotting, and now in the past 24 hrs I'm heavily bleeding, I'm actually concerned. I'm passing clots, bleeding heavily, having moderate to severe cramps in my lower back area. I'm currently trying to reach my doctor and hoping they'll call me back, since I've had 2 miscarriages in the past, I'm showing signs of a possible miscarriage, but I've been told that the pill will give you symptoms of pregnancy, so I don't know. Any advice on what to do? I believe I will see if the doctor will put me on Estrostep, I took that about 7 years ago and had no problems with it, but the doctor felt that Femcon is more effective against pregnancy. Anyone know what could be happening with me?

GET OFF THE PILL AND GO TO SOMETHING ELSE.. I TOOK THAT AND HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS FROM THE FIRST FEW WEEKS. I WAS SPOTTING AND THEN HEAVY MAJOR BLEEDING AND THE DOCTOR CHANGED ME TO LOESTRIN 24 FE. ITS WORKING GREAT FOR ME. BUT IF U ALREADY HAVING THOSE PROBLEMS CHANGE BEFORE MORE THINGS HAPPEN. DONT WAIT ANY LONGER.
