I just started my second pack of Femcon FE a couple days ago. I switched over from Yaz because my GYN said underweight girls need higher dosage pills because they lack estrogen producing pills. The yaz made me incredibly depressed and i started getting panic attacks so i decided to try it out. So far i have not had mood swings or panic attacks. YAY!! And i have been quite horny ^_^. Unfortunately i think i am starting to break-out. I have always had acne problems but when i first switched to Femcon FE my really large blemishes (cystic acne?) disappeared in a couple of days. Now i am getting a bunch of little tiny red bumps which i have never had before. Like i said it is my second month on femcon so i am not sure if that is what is causing it but i am going to keep an eye on it because i was given birth control to clear up acne, not make it worse. Also, i just washed my face with the same cleanser i always do and it is burning now...odd. Hopefully this clears up because i am definitely enjoying Femcon more than my previous pill.

I'm really interested to see how this works out for you. I was on Yasmin about a year ago and it was hell. The panic attacks and anxiety sent me over the edge! I always said I would NEVER go on a bc pill again, but my periods are so painful, I just can't miss work every month - ya know? So far so good. I'm on my 2nd week and I'm bleeding, but I know it takes three months, so I'm being patient. As long as I'm not getting panic attacks - I'm fine! Are you still liking it?

This is my third month on Femcon Fe and I am having the same problems you are! Although, I have never had any acne problems before but ever since I have been on this pill my face has been breaking out non-stop! I absolutely hate it and am switching ASAP.

ive been on Femcon since Nov. 2008. then i had to have surgery to remove an ovary im 28 years old, eat healthy, work out, and use to have a great sex drive.
since Femcon my face breaks out terrible...the side effects of it were very mild but this acne is terrible/painful. im going to ask my doctor to switch me. So no the acne does not get better it gets worse. i have given Femcon plenty of time
