I can't believe what im reading, I have almost every side effect to what you are all saying. When I called my doctor after the 3rd day of taking the pill, she said it was normal, nausea for hours is normal! Take it @ night... ok still nausea. I thought it was just me getting older, (44) my mood swings are so out of control I would divorce me...my breast are large to begin with, I feel like im carrying 20lb weights on each one. Leg cramps, nausea, not sleeping, hot flashes. After reading this im done... I'll deal with the ovarian cyst my way...Time for a new doctor to. Good luck girls

Hi Mary. I wanted to respond to your posting because I felt like I related to your situation more so than the rest. I have been on Femcon since late November. I started on it because I have Dysfunction Uterine Bleeding that had been going on for about 7 months prior. My GYN put me on this to stop bleeding, which it has helped tremendously. I only have breakthrough spotting here and there. However, I have Breast tendernous all the time, nausea after I eat, emotional mood swings, (I'm surprised my family hasn't kicked me out yet) and I definetly have bloating. Not sure about exact weight gain. I am just glad to know that these are real side effects felt by other woman, not only me. And btw, I am 39 years old and I don't want to feel this way in my 40's. Next month I will be having a procedure to help stop the bleeding and then it is goodbye Femcon Fe for good!
Good luck to you too.
