I switched from mircette to ovcon 35 because of sex drive issues. I have been on ovcon for 1 month and am miserable. I have had break through bleeding, severe headaches and nausea at 3am, and have been gaining weight like crazy. Yesterday i decided to quit birth control all together and go back to condoms. I think my husband and i had more sex when i was using them anyway.

I've been taking Ovcon 35 for about 4 months now. Every month I've experienced break through bleeding it's like I stop bleeding for like a week and a half then I start again. It's horrible! But at the same time i've noticed that I've lost a little weight ( I don't have a problem with my weight now but it wouldn't bother me to lose some!) Should I switch this pill or wait a little longer?

I was having break through bleeding while taking Apri. My doctor switched me to Ovcon35 a few months ago. Since taking Ovcon I am starting to lose scalp hair by the handfuls. My hair is thinner than it has ever been. I did experience post-partum hair loss after giving birth but it never lasted this long or got this thin. I am very concerned. Should I keep taking Ovcon and hope my hormones balance out and my hair stops falling out?

I've been using Ovcon 35 for 2.5 mos. now. I don't like it. I was on Mircette at first, but it wasn't strong enough for me. I had constant break through bleeding--weeks at a time for 2 mos! So I switched. Since I've been on Ovcon, I have gained about 6-8 lbs. I can hardly fit into some of my jeans. I feel like I'm retaining a lot of water. Today, I'm in the middle of the 3rd week of my pack and I had my period. Not just spotting--it's a menstrual flow. I'm going back to my gyno and I'm going to ask to switch to Yasmin.

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.

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
