I have been on Ovcon35 for about 8 months and have experienced the effects as everyone else. I started taking it to eleminate my periods b/c of endometriosis and I have only not had any problems for six weeks out of the 8 months. Since mid October I have not had any sign of bleeding for only five days out of almost two months. This is not normal I'm making an appointment with another ob/gyn to get a second opinion. This is driving me crazy and my husband is getting impatient.

I have been on birth control for about 4 years now. Four years ago, I was diagnosed with Endometriosis the worst stage there could possibly be. I have been on the Ovcon 50 for 2 years this birth control has helped me keep the endometriosis under control. However, since I started taking this birth control I started noticing a lot of changes in my body, I gained about 15 lbs, I have terrible headaches, break through bleeding, fatigue, very moody, bloated, and the worst is the lack of sex drive . I mean, it is completely gone. I can only blame this on the Ovcon. I made an appointment to talk to my doctor about this situation because it is something that is ruining my personal life.
I forgot to mention that I am on this pill continuously; I do not have periods, so the break through bleeding is normal.
My partner and I have been trying to figure out what has caused me to become who I am now. I blame this on the Ovcon and when I go see my Doctor, I am asking him to give me a different type of birth control. When I look back, I see that since I started the Ovcon 50 my life has changed, I was trying to blame this on my Endometriosis. I am 100% sure; Ovcon is causing me all the side effects I have. I would not recommend anyone to take this pill

Since I started my period when I was 13 (I'm 26 now), they have always been irregular. I have been on and off with Ortho TriCyclen since the birth of my son in 1999. I finally just quit birth control all together (except condoms). These past few years I could go 3 or 4 months without having a period. Since the end of last year, I've been bleeding so much. So, I finally went to the doctor and she started me on these new pills. I've never heard of them before. I started Ovcon last month. Everything was fine at first. I stopped bleeding the day I started the pills which was the day I went to the doctor. A few weeks passed. My right leg has really been hurting and aching like I have a "charley horse". I began bleeding again on February 28th. Only a couple of weeks after I started these pills. I finally stopped bleeding on March 12th. That was only because I took 3 pills a day for 3 days just to try and stop the bleeding. It worked for the time being. Now when I'm back to taking 1 a day, I'm spotting. I can't have sex, even though I want to because when I try to have sex, I start bleeding again. I'm really frustrated. My next appointment is April 14th. Should I quit the pills now and just wait for my next appt.?
