Ovcon and gaining weight

I switched to Ovcon about 6 months ago when I told my doctor I had no libido on Mircette. Well, Ovcon definitely changed that; in fact, sometimes my libido was out of control. However, my sex drive wasn't the only thing that made me feel aggressive. On Ovcon I was ANGRY at everything and everyone and I'd fall into a depression sometimes as well. I was also anxious. The mood in general caused so much resistance from doing the things I love to do most. I thought the anger was a product of living in Queens, NY, and just being annoyed at the people here, but it was so magnified; I literally felt like I wanted to strangle someone. Not only that, but I was working out more intensely and more frequently than ever and I was still the heaviest I had ever been. The weight gain made me frustrated, angry, and even more depressed and it became a vicious cycle.

My doctor switched me to Yasmin, so I would still have a sex drive, and to decrease the chances of gaining weight. So far, both my body and my mood feel much lighter.

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.
