I am on my first month of taking this pill. I am on the last brown pills I only have two brown pills left and no period, despite the fact that I am sexually active I just do not think I am preg. we use condoms EVERY time and also pull out while using condoms so i just don't see it... also i feel like I have gained about 3 pounds nothing huge, but enough to make me feel like a fatty. I just switched to this pill after 4 months on yaz, but I had spotting and long painful periods on that. The gyn gave me a month of femconFE and then prescribed me ovcon 35 and said it's the same but some of you ladies said it's not so I am only hoping for something different. I feel very sore and headaches and I cry much more than I used to. I am normally not the type of person to cry but i just have been getting too emotional over nothing, I am definitely thinking it's this pill so i will be on Ovcon 35 in 2 days I am hoping for something better.

I have been on all of these BC and have had all the re-irregular period symptoms. When I started getting headaches Ovcon did not help it made me much worse. Yaz was OK, but I was constantly missing periods and having random spotting. When I did have a period it was pretty heavy and painful. My MD did not see the problem with that. I am about to try to Femcon to see how it affects me. My only question is are there any natural options out there that son't overload or bombard our bodies?

Hi,
Keep in mind that generics are not the same as branded pills. When you switched from FemconFe to the generic you major problems seem to have started.
Generics can vary plus 25% and minus 20% so you may be getting too much or two little of the hormone dose.

You should try going back on FemconFe and see what happens. You can go to FemconFe.com and print out a voucher for femcon.
