Ovcon and fatigue

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

I HAVE BEEN TAKING OVCON-35 FOR 3 1/2 WEEKS NOW. I WAS GIVEN THIS RX TO REGULATE MY CYCLES SO THAT I MAY HAVE A CHANCE OF PREGNANCY IN THE UPCOMING YEAR. I HAD TAKEN OVCON LAST YEAR FOR EXACTLY 3 MONTHS AND HAD ONLY CRAMPING AS A SIDE EFFECT. THIS TIME AROUND, I AM ONLY ON MY FIRST PACK AND HAD FIRST STARTED SPOTTING EVERY OTHER 3-4 DAYS. NOW I AM HAVING A FULL BLOWN CYCLE. I AM EXPERIENCING LOSS OF APPETITE IN THE EVENINGS, TENDERNESS OF BREASTS, FATIGUE, MAJOR CRAMPS ( WHICH I'VE NEVER REALLY HAD IN MY LIFE) AND ITCHINESS UNDERNEATH BOTH BREASTS. THE ACNE ON MY FACE SEEMS VERY CALM AND HARDLY ANY BREAKOUTS. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS REGIMINE FOR THE NEXT TWO MONTHS UNTIL MY 3 MONTH FOLLOW UP WITH MY DOCTOR.

I've been on Ovcon 35 for 5 months. I had no problems with breakthrough bleeding until this month. I've been bleeding for 3 weeks! I've also had many of the other side effects mentioned by many others on this site- pain in legs, Abdominal cramping, fatigue, bloating, mood swings. I WILL be stopping these pills today. I'm 43 years old and recently married. No plans for children so my husband is getting a vasectomy. Until I read the side effects posted by other people who have taken OvCon 35, I thought I might have something seriously wrong with me but now I'm sure it's the pills! The FDA needs to take a closer look at what these pills are doing to the woman taking OvCon 35!

I have been taking Ovcon for over a year now, and up until this cycle I liked it. I just had my period two weeks ago, and I am bleeding again. And, I don't mean spotting, I mean heavy bright blood and a whole lot of clotting...YUK! But, now that I mention it, I have had some other side effects. I have gained a lot of weight. My breasts have gotten bigger ( that's a good thing), but I'd rather be skinny. I have quite a few more headaches and fatigue. And the mood swings are in full swing.

I was on Ovcon 35 for a few yrs. then I had 3 cyst so my doc. put me on Ovcon50 because it is strong, I hate it I have depression bad!!, mood swings, I get about 4-5 hours a sleep at night, leg pain, fatigue, alot of anxiety, cramps and heavy bleeding, Which I never had before, and I want to gain weight and I gained about 5 pounds which isn't bad for me, and my boobs got one cup bigger, I'm consulting my doc. about it and switching, this sux !!!

i've been taking ovcon for the past 7 months and have gained 10#'s! i am very health conscious and exercise is an important part of my life. i have also had breakthrough bleeding every month, fatigue and crazy mood swings. i just went for my yearly this morning and asked my doctor to switch me. she prescribed yasmin which i will start on sunday. please check back if anyone is interested to see how it's working for this 30 year old mother of 2.

I've been using Ovcon-35 for 2.5 weeks because Dr. recommended it for my ovarian cytes. This is the first time i've been on BC pills and I have the following symptoms, severe fatigue, burning & metallic taste on my tongue, nausea, indigestion, sharp pains in ovary area. Is this a normal side effort or am I allergic to it? Please help

I have been on Ovcon-35 for 2 months. I am really happy with it. My skin hass cleared up. I was put on this pill to help me have a menstural cycle. So far I have had one on time every month. Im going on my 3rd month. No nausea, fatigue,weight gain, no side affects at all. I was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen in the past. I did like that also but they stoped making it. I stoped the pills because I wanted to get pregnate. But when the pills stoped, I stoped having menstural cycles. I was told because of a lack of Esterogen. I am extreamly happy with the the switch to Ovcon-35. I was worried because I've tried others in the past and they didnt work. However, I do want to get pregnate. Maybe I will try my luck with skipping a few pills. lol Just to comment: Every womans body is different a pill that dosent work for you works for others. There's no need to attack a brand just because it's not for you. Different strokes for different folks. Just try another. Good luck ladies.

I am 43 years old, have had a tubal ligation but am taking Ovcon-50 for the first time because of endometriosis and frequent, very heavy, periods. I am now three weeks into the first month, and have been experiencing fatigue, interrupted sleep/vivid dreams, nausea, irritability, dizziness and dehydration (I've had to have IV fluids at an Urgent Care facility twice in the past week). Is any of this normal with the use of this drug? I don't want to stop it yet because I want to see how it affects my menstrual cycle, which has been a nightmare. However, these symptoms are serious and I am wondering if it is due to the drug. My PCP has gone on vacation, so I am kind of stuck right now.

I started taking ovcon-35 almost 3 months ago and for the first month i had irregular bleeding, the 2nd month everything was fine, and now i'm experiencing intense dizziness and fatigue. I was tested for anemia and that came back negative, i'm awaiting my results for mono, and if that comes back negative i was wondering if it could be from the pill. Is this a known side effect?
