YES. the very first two days I started Femcon I had the worst cramps and back pain and naseua of my life- ever. And I get severely bad cramps and back pain on my period. After a week I considered discontinuing use. I was naseous for hours after I took the pill and had cramps and pain all day long. Everything eased up after a few weeks. I spotted a bit the first month. The second month it didn't help much with pain or severe bleeding while I was on my period, but the 3rd month and on have been perfectly fine and now I just spot on my period, I don't even bleed, have cramps, or backache. That's great, but now I have ZERO sex drive.
oy! i got my period 2 1/2 weeks into taking the pill. i have never had such bad cramps in my life! also i have a heavy digusting period and its day 6! ussually my period would be gone by now! also what is weird, my period goes away at night. the doctor said i could go to the ER but i'm not going to. She also gave me medicine for my cramps. I'm going to stick through this ( unless my period lasts another 6 more days..) but all pills are going to have side effects.
