Ovcon and gyn

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 am 45 years old and have been on Ovcon for about 7 or 8 years. The last 5 years I have gained50 pounds, have severe migraines, need to sleep a lot because of hot flashes, night sweats, and other sleep problems. I took Ovcon for PMS reasons. I am taking myself OFF of it because I recently read that estrogen dominance can cause severe symptons during the perimenopausal phase. I go the GYN faithfully every year and nothing he has tried helps me, so I am taking matters into my own hands.

ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS...I HATE OVCON!!

I HAVE BEEN ON IT FOR 4 MONTHS NOW FOR ENDOMETREOSIS AND I AM A BASKET CASE, IT MAKES ME SO MOODY AND TIRED. I HOPE THRER IS SOMETHING ELSE
OUT THERE BESIDES THIS CRAP!! I SEE MY GYN ON THURSDAY; I HOPE HE WILL LISTEN THIS TIME THAT THE DRUG MAKES ME NUTS. I AM BRINGING MY FIANCE WITH ME, THIS TIME MAYBE HE CAN GET IT THREW MY GYNS HEAD!! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE.

This is my sixth month of Ovcon 35, and I've had breakthrough bleeding after the ninth pill of every pack. This breakthrough bleeding, as they like to call it, is really exactly the same as a period. Cramps, breast tenderness, skin breakouts, bloating, etc. I have nine days of peace, then the rest of the month is all period. I called my gyn two months ago and she told me to give it another two months. I will call her again, and I hope she has a better response.

I HAVE BEEN ON OVCON FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF NOW AFTER TRYING OTHER PILLS AND FAILING TO REGULATE MY PERIOD. THIS ONE STARTED TO WORK. MY BLEEDING WAS LESS HEAVY(I WAS A SEVERE BLEEDER) AND MY CRAMPS WERE TONING DOWN ( I SUFFERED FROM SEVERE CRAMPS EVER SINCE I GOT MY FIRST PERIOD) BUT NOW THINGS ARE STARTING TO BE DIFFERENT. I HAVE BEEN TEMPERMENTAL LATELY AND VERY ANGRY. I HEARD THAT WHILE ON BIRTHCONRTOL PILLS, YOU EXPERIENCE SOME SIDE EFFECTS AS IF YOU WERE PREGNANT E.G. THE EATING HABITS AND NAUSEA. BUT I AM HUNGRY ALL OF THE TIME. I GET REALLY SICK IF I DON'T EAT. HALF OF THE TIME I CAN'T EAT WHAT'S IN FRONT OF ME. I FEEL SO NAUSEAED AT TIMES TO WERE I JUST WISH WHAT EVER IT WAS WILL JUST COME OUT. I'M TIRED ALL OF THE TIME. I'M CALLING MY GYN IN THE MORNING BECAUSE IT HAS GOTTEN OUT OF HAND NOW. I JUST HOPE THAT SHE CAN LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS.

I just started Ovcon35 about a week and a half ago. Haven't gained any weight, no emotional rollercoaster, but I do frequently have nausea, the last two days my left calf hurts (but i do go to the gym on a regular basis) and have/had spotting for the last 3 days, i have cramps like i would during my period. I read somewhere that if you spot early, it could be a sign that the pill you are on is not the right dosage for you... so, I called my gyn with my concerns and was told that it's completely normal (which i was aware of.. but 1) i hven't even been on the pill a full 2 weeks and i'm spotting already? and 2) 99% of woman i've know has ever spotted, and if they did, it was certainly not in the first month of taking the pill.

I am 27 and I just began using the pill. I was prescribed ovcon .4/35 to try to regulate my period since my cycle is totally crazy. I am currently halfway into my third week of active pills and I have already began spotting. I called my gyn and she said that it happens for a few months until my body gets adjusted to it. I was freaked out since I began using the pill due to irregular bleeding/spotting. Other than that I had a little bit of an upset stomach at first and it just went away after a few days.
