I have been taking Femcon for about 3 months now. I took Yasmin for about a year prior to Femcon, and my OBGYN had me switch because I had some bad cysts on both of my ovaries. After the first couple weeks on Femcon, I thought I was going crazy. I was an emotional wreck, I was having random panic attacks for no reason, I was lashing out at my boyfriend (we have been together for 3 years, and I have never fought with him the way I have been lately, and they are arguments that I start myself, over any and everything.) I had my period for the first 4 weeks of taking this pill, and when I was supposed to get my period, it didn't come. My breast have gone up a whole cup size (I went from a D to a DD....not something I needed or wanted to happen!) And I have put on about 7 pounds. This has been like a nightmare to me, and I didn't know why these things were happening until I found this site. I suspected Femcon may be why these things were happening, but I kept on telling mysef that was crazy, and I probably just needed psychologial help. I am so upset with my Dr. for giving me this pill. I feel like a guinea pig for this "revolutionary birth control pill." I don't recommend anyone to take it. I have been taking birth control pills for 10 years, and I have never experienced anything like this. It is like a bad dream. Thank you so much to all the other women that have posted their experiences on here, you have helped to saved my sanity and my relationship!! I am calling my Dr. tomorrow to switch to something else (probalby back to Yasmin).
