I am so glad I found this site, because I thought I was coming down with some rare disease. I went on Femcon because I had been on Yaz and started having serious migraines that kept me in bed for days at a time. I have been on Femcon for two months now and I have had every symptom mentioned here. Here is everything in a nut shell. I have felt extremely deepressed and moody to the point of possibly thinking on seeking help for depression. I am mostly angry and sad. I have experienced problems in the past when I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen of feeling paranoid all the time, this was different. I have cramps not just during my periods, but all the time. I also have had really bad aches and pains all over my body especially in my back and legs, feels like the flu. I have been so tired during the day that I have actually fallen asleep at my desk only to go to bed at night and wake up after only a few hours of sleep. I have been also having hot flashes at night. I have had constant headaches although less severe than when on Yaz. I have been gassy, bloated, nauseated and now have had diarrhea off and on for over a month. I have also noticed having a lot of sinus pain and pressure as well. I have also had spotting on days 12 & 13 but no period when I am supposed to have one. I also had the some fluttering in my chest and my breast are swollen and the nipples darkened. I have completely lost all interest in sex and when I am on the brown pills and feel like having sex, it is like all the moisture has been removed from my entire body and I can't enjoy it. Despite knowing I haven't been having much sex, I think I'm pregnant all the time. I have also gained about ten pounds despite no changes in my diet. I also feel nauseous sometimes after eating lunch especially. I take my pills at night and I don't chew them so I'm not sure if that is the problem or not. I have an appointment to go back to the doctor in a month. I'm thinking of calling her to change before that now that I know my symptoms are not a strange disease, but more than likely a result of the medicine. Thanks everyone for being willing to share your experiences. I hope I can find a pill that was as good as Yaz without the migraines.
