I have been on Femcon FE for 5 days now and am not sure if what I...

Actually yes, this could be the pill.. I also had major gas on the pill i was on, so bad i had cramps all night long to where i couldnt sleep. It was pretty bad but only last a month and was over. But the bowel movement doesnt sound great if its very uncomfortable. Talk to your doctor and see what they say. If your experiences get worse than get off it. Dont wait too long and see if it will eventually work..

Honestly i had the same problems where you had to go to the bathroom for certain bowel movements. That lasted about 2 weeks or so on the pill when i first started it but i havent had that problem since. i never had the untolerable cramps but some where there. anytime you change birth control your body has to try to adjust.

I have been on Femcon for 1.5 weeks now, and I am having some strange side effects, too. I feel extremely full all the time, even if I haven't eaten, but my stomach will growl like it's hungry. I also have heartburn and very bad gas. I also am going to try to change back to my old pill. Good to hear some others are having the same stuff!
