I just started taking Ovcon because my cycle is extremely irregular and this (the third try) was suppose to help...however, I have noticed hair loss and thought it might be stress as well, but I have also noticed weight gain, breast tenderness, dizziness and headaches. I am also experiencing all over body aches that I thought were just part of my day, but I have been looking more into it and its not, I am consulting my doctor immediately, if there is anyone with any other suggestions-please help!

I have been on Ovcon for 5 years now. I only get my period every 3 months and it has been very light. I now have noticed a lot of hair falling out and I have a medium size bald spot in my hair line. I don't know if it is the pills or stress! If anyone else has noticed hair loss please let me know! I talked to my doctor and they told my they never heard of people losing hair due to a birthcontrol pill.

I have been on Norethindrone for 9 weeks and just a couple weeks into starting these BCPs I noticed frequent and severe headaches. I very rarely got headaches before, but I didn't think anything of it. It's been 7 weeks since then and I've noticed and realized a lot of symptoms, but couldn't for the life of me figure out why. I just had a baby 4 months ago so I thought maybe these symptoms were related to hormonal changes. My BIGGEST concern is my hair loss! I have hand-fulls of hair, lost, after every hair washing. The rug on my bathroom floor is saturated with hair, not that I have brushed out, but what has fallen out after drying my hair with a towel. I have read you can temporarily lose your hair after giving birth up to about 6 months, so again, I thought my problems were due to hormonal changes. The following are additional syptoms I've experienced: haven't started my period, cramping/sore uterus, bumps/uneven skin on my face, sudden, severe, and frequent headaches, dizziness/feeling dismantled, large amounts of discharge, and hair LOSS. As a matter of fact, I have a Dr. appt tomorrow to address these concerns.

Depression, shorter periods, bigger boobs (but no weight gain elsewhere), and a slight rash on my face. Other than the depression s/e it was a good pill for me. I had to stop taking it after four months because of it. I've been on other pills that the side effects were alot worse: weight gain, hair loss, dizziness, constant bleeding, etc.

Depression, shorter periods, bigger boobs, slight rash on face. Unfortunately, I had to stop it after four months due to the depression side effect. Other than that, it was a great pill. I've been on many other pills with alot worse side effects: weight gain, hair loss, dizziness, etc.

Depression. The only other side effects were: a little rash on my face around my mouth, my periods were shorter, it also made my breasts 1 cup size bigger (but I didn't gain weight elsewhere! Nice!). I was on it for four months and would still be on it if it didn't make me depressed. Overall, good pill. I've been on some really scary ones in the past that gave me hair loss.
