I started Femcon FE for the first time 3 1/2 weeks ago, and have noticed weight gain (5-7lbs), severe bloating, pains in my abdomen, not depressed, but definitely not as upbeat & positive as usual. I also have been much more jumpy, thinking I'm seeing things out of the corner of my eye... I have been on birth control for many years, and have never had such noticeable changes as with this one!! YUCK! I'm thinking about going back to my old pill!!! I'm so glad I found this site, I could not figure out why I felt so different all of a sudden!
