I recently had a baby and have just started the pill this month. I used to be on Nordette before the pregnancy, but when I went to see my gyn for my post-partum check-up, she decided to put me on this. I don't understand why? (I have heard that doctors can get "perks" from drug firms for prescribing a lot of their product) I just finished my first month and I'm due to begin my 2nd month this Sunday (June 1st). Until finding this website, I thought I was losing my mind! I'm so glad to find out that I'm not and that there is an easy solution to this...stop taking Femcon! I'm going to tell my gyn to put me back on my old pill. I never had any problems before and why I got switched is beyond me. I have been getting severe stomach pains, diarrhea, migraines, depression, sleepless nights, back pains,and crazy mood swings! My husband made a comment to me yesterday that I was acting really nutty. That made me stop and think, "Wow, I am totally chewing him out for no reason!" And I have been crying for NO reason lately! Ahhhh! This might sound crazy...I have been "nesting", too! Compulsive cleaning! (and NO I'm not pregnant again!) Anyone else doing this? THANK YOU LADIES for posting your comments. I thought I was alone (and crazy!). I am soooo done with Femcon!

i started using Femcon in december because my period was out of control. It took about three months for the pill to regulate my cycle, but now my side effects are so bad. I gained a noticable amount of weight, I am depressed for absolutely no reason, have crazy mood swings, and i cry uncontrollably sometimes over nothing.The side effects are especially bad the week before the sugar pills. oh yea, and no sex drive. I don't recommend this pill to anybody. I want to switch but i dont know what to switch to. Any ideas?
