Ovcon and headache

After starting the second pack of Ovcon, I began to feel like I was coming down with the flu, headache, naseau, insomnia. But then the swelling of my ankles and hands made me realize it was the ovcon. It hurt to walk and move my hands, and still does. I am hoping the swelling goes away soon as I have stopped taking it!

I've been on Ovcon 35 since my son was born 2 1/2 years ago. I have experienced frequent migraines that consist of a pounding headache, nasauea, and blurred vision. When my symptoms first started my doctor mentioned switiching birth control, but I never did. I also found out that I had a thyroid problem at the same time fluctuating between hyper and hypo thyroidism. I am currently on medication for the thryoid and for migraines every day. I just stopped taking Ovcon 35 two weeks ago after reading this web-site and seeing other people were experiencing migraines. I don't know if it is the Ovcon causing these side effects.

dry heaves, nausea; weight gain 8 lbs. in 2 weeks, headache, tired, tearful esp. day 20 and 21, leg cramps at night, pain in legs.
Am switching to Levlite, hope that works better.

I have been on BC pills (Desogen) for years. A few mos ago I started taking Ovcon 35 to try to shrink an ovarian cyst. It did not work so I started Ovcon 50 about a week ago. Since then I have been experiencing bad side effects such as severe mood swings (almost like being manic/depressive) sleeplessness, nausea, dizziness, and headache. Is this normal, because I think I am going to stop taking these and go back to Ovcon 35 (which was great).
