Femcon Fe is the first BC I have ever tried. I only got through the 2nd week of my first pack and then I stopped! I couldn't stop eating...I was crying for the smallest things...I had spotting! So I gave up just like that! After 2 months, I decided to give it another try ( I still have the 2nd pack sample). So far, after 3 weeks, everything is OK. No weight gain, or spotting...headaches, yes but it is nothing that Tylenol can't fix. So there..I am going to give this pill a chance. I do hope I get my period once I get to the inactive ones and not bleed for days like the ones did...wish me luck :)
