I took FemCon FE for seven days and experienced a lot of severe side effects which included diarrhea after I eat, foully smell in urine, itching and burning in vagina (like a yeast infection), hearburn, hot flashes, burning feeling in my heart and chest (not the same thing as hearburn), and terrifying anxiety symptoms that consisted of heart palpitations, heart flutters, shortness of breath, numbness in arms, dizziness, join pain, lump in throat, tight chest pains, and insomnia. The anxiety symptoms seemed to be worse at nighttime. I literally felt like I was going to have a heart attack and die. I stopped taking the pill three days ago and I do feel some better, but not completely back to normal yet. I did a lot of praying during this difficult time and God helped me get through it. I know I couldn't have made it without Him. The fear of dying was so intense that I thought my heart was literally going to stop. I almost passed out a few times which is also a scary feeling. My doctor put me on Femcom FE for my hormones, not for birth control, because I had a tubal back in 2002. I would rather put up with my crazy hormones then have the extreme anxiety attacks. The only good thing was my period didn't last as long and was lighter. Now that I have went off of FemCon, I started bleeding again like a normal period. I don't recommend Femcom FE for anyone.

Funny how there's nothing but negative reviews on not just Femcon Fe but on all BC's. Nobody ever raves about the good things.

Femcon Fe has been the only pill for me that has drastically improved my acne,I've had NO weight gain whatsoever! In fact, I've lost a few pounds. It has been the only birth control pills that has reduced my chronic yeast infections that other birth control pills have given me. Keep in mind while taking birth control pills women should also be putting in *good bacteria* such as acidolphilus pills or yogurt with active cultures to maintain a stable environment and reduce those yeast infections while on the pill. All of this has helped me.
To see if the pill is going to be right for you, dont expect it to adjust to your body in just 1 month. Give it a couple of times so your body can adjust to something new that your giving it. Of course it's going to freak out at first...GIVE IT TIME. Don't expect a freakin miracle!
