I am reading all of these terrible side effects from Femcon and I cannot believe it. I have been on Femcon for two years and have had absolutely no problems. The only reason I switched to Femcon was because I was on the patch and kept having problems with it coming off (swimming) so I called my doctors office from out of town and they called in Femcon to the pharmacy. I have never had any problems with my period, even before I started on the pill. When I was younger I had some minor cramps, but that was it. I don't doubt that these problems that all of you girls have had are awful, but it looks like if you have any pre-existing problems from your cycle, that it could make it worse; but if you do not have any problems, this pill may work with no side effects.
