My doctor just put me on this pill I haven't been on BC in 3 years but I have had my period since March and it's now June he thinks this will regulate my body so I will go back to normal. I have only been taking this since Tuesday it's now Sunday and last night I thought I was going to die. I couldn't sleep because I was soooo dizzy ever time I moved the whole room would spin. It's not as bad since I have been awake today but it's still there and I don't know if I should even take it today or not. Is anyone else dealing with this or is it just me?

Thank God I found this website!!! I am completly at my wits ends and now I realize it's the damn pill!!! 3 months ago I came off using Nuvaring because I'd only used it for 2 months when I started bleeding and never stopped! Nuvaring was great for not having to take a pill every day, but it did something else to me that was worse. So the doctor suggested FEMCON FE. I continued to bleed for 2 months and was told to give it a full 4 months at least for my body to adjust. As I sit here crying and typing this to you all, it is an effect of Femconfe, I want to say "DON'T TAKE THIS CRAP!" I will stop taking it today in my 2nd week of my 3rd pack of pills.
My breast are killing me and I was already a DD!
I've gained 8 lbs after losing 20 previously!
I've have headaches
I have light cramping
My anxiety is through the roof!
I am always depressed!
I've nausea to the point of vomiting a couple of times.
I have no sex drive.
and the worst of all, I have such severe dizziness, I can't function, much less focus!!! I'm a freakin' mess with this stuff!! I guess birth control isn't for me but this is by far the worst in my entire life and I'm 38 yrs of age!

To top all of this off, I read another ladies posting about having a touch of food poisining and OMG!!!, I went through the same thing and wonder if it had to do with femcon as well. I had diahrrea for an entire week! I thought I'd die from dehydration! I'm actually hoping this was just a stomach virus. Who knows, but it just struck me odd that someone else experienced this as well. Don't use Femcon ladies, and Good luck with finding one that works well with your body.
