Hello I have been on the pill for a month and going onto my second month of femcon. I have had the worse leg cramp and pains. Has anyone else had leg cramps or pains?

i have been taking femcon for 3 months now and for the first month was smooth sailing. for the past 2 months i have been experiencing severe mood swings, extreme anger issues, depression, and the worst of all i feel like i cant breathe and my lungs aren't filling up with enough air which causes me to go into these crazy panic attacks. the breathing issues seem to be coming on more frequent now and worsening. it has caused problems with my job because i have to take long breaks to catch my breath. i have made an appointment with my general practicioner thinking that i am having lung problems, but after reading everyones comments it makes me second guess myself and my problem could actually be femcon. hopefully by stopping femcon, i will be able to get my life back to normal again. i never want to suffer again from the feeling that i cant breathe.

I was on Femcon Fe for about 6 weeks and I was always tired. I gained weight while on this bc and had severe bloating. I run on the treadmill for 30 min a day and while on this bc I never had enough energy to workout at all. After I got off Femcon Fe I was peeing like crazy because while I was taking it no matter how much water I drank I would rarely pee. this bc made me retain water. It made my mouth very dry I had leg cramps and shortness of breath with chest pains.

I've been on Femcom Fe for four months, and it makes me really moody and my hair has been falling out like crazy. I also have been experiencing leg cramps. Needless to say, especially after reading all your posts, I will be discontinuing this pill.
