i just started my 7 month pack and ever since last month, while on the active pills, my heart seems to flutter or feels like its skipping beats. it does it alot and it scares me because i am scared i am going to have a heart attack or something. do you think its from femcon and if so, should i stop taking them?

I would call your doctor. I was put on Femcon about 2 months ago for ovarian cysts and for the first month everything was fine. Then I got my period 5 days early and pretty much had it for the whole month of March. I had awful cramps, back pain, bleeding, lots of weird looking discharge, depression, tiredness and still had the pain from the cysts. IMy doctor finally changed me to another bc pill and we will see what happens. So just when I think this nightmare is over and I really dont need to by stock in always with the amount of pads i went through this month its not over. i went to my Primary care doctor for a yearly check up and they happen to do EKGs as part of the yearly physical and it cam back with a problem. I now have to see the cardiologist. Now I am 32 and there is VERY LITTLE CHANCE in me having heart desease so Im wondering what caused this. I called my pharmisist and he sayes that with every hormone pill there is a chance it will effect your heart. I would call the Doctor if you are suspecting the pill is the cause of the heart flutters you ae experiancing.

I am getting so angry reading all these side effects, I wish I'd read about them sooner! I've been on this pill for 2 months now, I've passed out twice (never passed out before in my life) and have had the heart flutter you're speaking about and thought I was just stressed out or something, I even went back to the doctor and she said it couldn't possibly be because of the pill, wow...I can't believe this is effecting so many people this way!!
