I am finishing up my 4th week on Femcon and it's been hell. I have polycystic ovarian disease and i'm used to taking bc, I have been for almost 10 years but recently started missing periods and having random breakthrough bleeding so my doc switched me to femcon since it's a higher dose of estrogen... I've had headaches, bloating, water retention, nausea, vomiting, severe acne, nose bleeds, mood swings, cramps, the heaviest period i have ever experienced, night sweats, heartburn, rapid heart beat, trouble breathing, fatigue and the list goes on... basically what everyone else has said i have had too. my doc won't take me off until i've tried it for 3 months but i don't think i'm going to wait that long... this is just horrible... it should be taken off the market. i'm going to look into filing a complaint with the fda about this pill.
