I have been on Femcon Fe for almost 8 months now, and while I don't love it, it's one of the best I have been on. I am severely anemic, so my doctor insisted that I go on birth control to lighten my periods. And while it has lightened them, they occur ever couple of days with just spotting... it sucks!!!! I also have no sex drive at all when I'm on my normal white pills, during the day's that I take the brown pills, I want to have sex but I'm on my period! It's wonderful... NOT! I thought that I was just having problems with my boyfriend of two years, until I read this, so thanks for at least making me feel better. Before this pill I was on another one and it made me terrible depressed, do you all have any suggestions for a different one I could switch to?
