i am taking birth control for the first time, and my doctor decided to start me on femcon. i decided to skip the inactive week of pills, so i'm now on the first week of my second pack. i started on the first day of my period last month, and unfortunately, after about a week of having my period, i had about another week and a half of light bleeding. fortunately it has finally stopped, and although i was a little worried i would start bleeding again since i'm skipping the inactive pills (i didn't want to have my period/withdrawal bleed this month), the bleeding hasn't come back yet, so i'm pretty happy right now. the only side effect i'm experiencing is the breast tenderness. i did experience some pretty crazy mood swings the first two weeks or so, and would cry over just about anything (i think my boyfriend thought i was crazy!) but that seems to have subsided now as well. overall i'm pretty happy with how things are at the moment.
