Femcon FE and legs

I have been taking Femcon FE for one month. I am on my inactive week and I have had breakthrough bleeding during week 2 and week 3 and now I am bleeding extremely heavy. I used a super kotex tampon AND an always super overnight pad as a backup and bled through the tampon in 1 hour at the worst of the heaviness. I had some vomiting and nausea the first week but after that the only thing I noticed is mild breast tenderness and my legs are cramping at night. I called the GYN and they said to stick with it until the 3 months are over. I had to leave work today to come home and lay down because I was bleeding so badly. I'm not sure if I should continue to take this or not. I have had irregular periods and had extended bleeding which was light but would last for 3 weeks at a time.

This is my third month on femcon and i am switching its the worst pill i have been on. I was on ortho tri cyclen lo for years and no problems due to insurance i had to change. this pil keeps my legs and ankle swollen it makes me look like i have elephant feet. I having my menstrual cycle now and im not starting the next pack im going to find a way to pay for my ortho tri cyclen lo. I also went up two bra sizes and they hurt.

I have been on Femcon for one month and just started the second month. I have experienced many of the side effects that are mentioned in this post, but one other I have it a severe pain in my right breast. It is almost like a burning sensation when I move a certain way. I have been to the Dr. and tested and assured it was nothing but hormonal. The only change is the Femcon. Has anyone else experienced this? I am stopping Femcon tonight and hopefully I will finally get some sleep!!!!

I started taking Femcon last week and immediately had side effects. I had a hysterectomy last year, but the doctor leftt my ovaries in since I am 34 and still need to have my ovaries. Why? I dont know, since I have had 3 Ovarian cyst surgeries. Anyway, he put me on the pill to help shut down my ovaries, but all that has happened is severe headaches including two migraines and severe nausea as well. I have breast tenderness and my legs are so sore! I have also put on 8 pounds which really stinks since I have just recently lost 40 pounds! I sure as heck don't want to start climing upwards again! This is absolutely rediculous! I think I would just rather go through another surgery and remove the one ovary then keep going through this! I do not reccomned this pill to anyone!

Since I last wrote a couple days ago, I have experienced even more side effects. The nausea I was feeling got even worse to the point where I was vomiting for like 4 hours. The vomiting stopped but the stomach pains continued. I was woken up this morning at 8 on the dot by the worst pains I have ever felt going up and down both arms. Also, my legs from the knees down had that pins and needles kind of feeling. What a way to be woken up. It was so bad in my arms that I broke out into tears and had to have my mom tip a cup for me so I could take Advil for it. I just got off the phone with my doctor and have been told to discontinue use immediately and to go to the EMERGENCY ROOM if my arms start hurting again or if I start feeling any shortness of breath! For a medication that's supposed to help, this has certainly done more harm than good.

I was on Femcon for three months...THIS IS THE WORST DRUG EVER!!! No wonder my doctor just GAVE me 6 months worth of sample packets..I opted to just stop taking it....I bled three times a month anywhere from 3-7 days per time...you're Damn right this is birth control..I'm not getting any! I have had the Worst aches and pains all over my body arms legs back and stomach...so bad they sent me to have an ultrasound on my gallbladder...of course that wasn't it. Headaches and CHEST Pains

i am freaking out! i have been taking femcon for 2 months now. on the 4th week of my first month my boyfriend and i had sex with no condoms. well i am on my 4 week (brown pills) of my second month starting last night and this morning when i woke up i have all the sypmtoms that i could start my period any minute but havent. i have cramps, legs ache, tender breasts, everything i usually experience and no period yet. i havent taken a pregnancy test to see if i might be pregnant because i am waiting to see if i start my period sometime this week like i am suppose to. i feel like i should be bleeding on my period but theres no blood. what should i do?

I've been on Femcon for less than a month, about three weeks, and the first few days were fine. Within a week I was throwing up every night, the same time, like clock work. Then, a few days later I started breakthrough bleeding and have been for about ten days. ALSO i just started clotting in my legs. Stopping Femcon tomorrow and switching to YAZ. Do not recommend this pill AT ALL.

I have been on Femcon FE for 1 month and will have had 3 periods by the end of this month. I also just had a baby almost 3 months ago, so that might be part of it. I have always been regular so this is new for me. I also had cramps that occurred every morning for a few hours, which I usually just had cramps on day 1. I have found that the flow also increases greatly and my periods have been much longer. I have had tiny bumps pop up all over my legs and arms on this as well. I am most likely going to get off of this pill. Hasnt been pleasant!
