The best thing about this pill is it was free from my gyno(because I have no insurance) and it gave me bigger breasts.The bad thing is I don't want to have sex,Im tired and bummed out all the time- very strange -these symptoms are so not me.My boyfriend researched the side effects of my pill because he swore since I had been taking it I have been acting crazier than ever- he enjoys my big boobs but the sex drive being gone and how weird im acting all of time just isn't worth it.

I dont think Femcon FE is right for me at all!
I am now on my second week of the fourth month of pills, and I feel so depressed. I am constantly crying. I feel lonley and sad at all times and very overwelmed. Ive had two panic attacks in the past month, Im always feeling very anxious. Im starting to have really bad trust issues with my boyfriend, something thats never occurred before.
Next week Ill be going back to the gyno, hopefully I can get on a better pill.

I've been on Femcon FE for three months and I've noticed a lot of changes which considering my pills are the only thing that I've changed I'm guessing after researching and reading some other comments are side effects. I'm nauseous every day or so, to the point where I worry more about being pregnant more recently than when I wasn't on any birth control. I get really horrible problems, and its getting worse, I've started having depressed and suicidal thoughts usually in the week before my period. The week before my period I cry for no reason and am extremely moody and irritable, during the rest of the month I'm ok. I've had ovarian cysts in the last three months. My breast have gotten almost 3 cups sizes bigger ( might think thats a plus but its not- In July/August '07 i was a 40 dd now I'm a 40 G). My breast are constantly achy, I think because they are growing. I've gained weight and have had stomach pains, I've seen my gyno who said they were cysts and I've seen my general doctor who couldn't find anything wrong. Before I was on NuvaRing which gave me horrible head aches and before that I was on ortho trycyclin lo- which made me nauseous and have break through bleeding every month. after reading that other people are having the same problems with Femcon that I am I'm thinking maybe I should stop taking them now and get on something else.

I have noticed that I will get 1-3 zits around my mouth (hormone induced)right at period time on this medication - without fail; this isn't helped by the fact that I have my period 2x per month like clockwork on this pill. My period starts on the Monday of Week 2 and the Monday of Week 4. Never fails. Those have been my only 2 symptoms, but its not working for me. Loved Depo but have taken off weight and fear putting it back on.
Called my gyno today to switch pills.

My sun has suffered from three years of age with stomach pain and discomfort uppon eating he is now 12 years old. We have seen many doctors all of whom are very vague. His blood work consistantly comes back with low amylase and lipase. Yet they dont see any need for further investigation. I have been told he has a sensitive stomach. As a mother I see more. I live with him and see him every day. He eats very little, (i think it still hurts) he says he's not in pain anymore. At nine he was still thr...

I have extreme problems with my menstrual cycle.. I bleed for months at a time... i have been bleeding for about 7 months now and my gyno gave me Femcon Fe.I have been on Yasmin before and it did not help regulate my menstrual cycle at all. I actually gained over 20 pounds from Yasmin in two months. I didn't change my diet at all. I have been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen and that just didn't do anything at all... i bled right through... After reading all your comments I am very nervous to start Femcon Fe.
