Since I started taking Ovcon 35 I cramp and I had breakthru bleeding/period that lasted 2.5 weeks. I went to the OBGYN and he said remain on it one more mth...and the biggest downfall is the weight gain. I am miserable with the weight gain and I am seriously dieting and nothing seems to shed the weight off since I started taking this pill. Therefore, I plan to stop although I do not want to get pregnant right now if and when that happened it would be ok considering I am happily married and do not have any children yet. I just want to plan that and I want to be able to fit in my clothes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sick of dieting and due to a BC PILL I am fat!
I can't take Othro Tri Cyclen which I did for 7 yrs due to break thru bleeding. I wish things were simple but I guess they are just not once you hit your 30's!

I was on Yasmin for a month and bled for a month straight. I absolutely hated it! I felt really irritated by everything and just felt overall terrible. My doctor switched me to Ovcon, and I decided I was going to go back off the pill all together. I was having really, really having bleeding, so decided to get on the Ovcon 35. The first month was rough. I take it with dinner, so it was a little tough for the first few days due to nausea. Once I got passed that, I had some breakthru bleeding, but generally felt okay. I would notice that I would feel like I needed it about my last hour of work. The second month, I had very mild stomach upset the second day, but was good after that. It hasn't helped much with PMS, but has made a huge difference with my bleeding. So far, I cannot complain as compared to the Yasmin.
