I think Femcon FE is definitely great. Yes i do get headaches and nausea sometimes, and sometimes a week before my period a little breakthrough bleeding, but it is the best birth control I've ever taken.
I've had the shot and i bled constantly. I also took other birth control , like ortho tri cyclen, and had bleeding as well.
Femcon has made my period SO much lighter, my cramps are virtually gone during my periods, whereas before they were unbearable. I have found it very hard to lose weight, but with exercise and healthy eating it is ok.
Plus this is the number one pro. NO PREGNANCY. I got pregnant on ortho tri cyclen low when i missed a pill.
Femcon is very reliable and i feel great on it. I haven't had one UTI or yeast since i started it 6 months ago.
I'll take the cons any day. Its worth feeling protected!
