UPDATE: I wrote yesterday concerning my possible side effects from Femcon FE. Today I spoke with the OB/GYN office and they feel as though I am gaining weight based on the birth control pills AND that the hormones in them are likely also to blame for my recent crying spells and increased anxiety. I am now officially allowed to say that I will no longer be taking the Femcon. By no means does this mean it is a bad pill, it just is not a good pill for me.
