I started birth control last July and since then I have been on three different kinds of pills. I first was on Zovia. While on Zovia I would get my period every other week, and this went on for six months. Second I was on Karvia, and it made me depressed and increased the cramps to the point where I couldn't walk. My Dr. then switched me over to Ovcon 35 and I am just ending my second pack. I have had nothing but trouble with this Pill.
I have had: sudden horrible headaches, a change of appetite, lack of energy, depression, bloating, stomach cramps, constipation, dizziness, loss of appitite- to the point where i couldnt tell if i was hungry or full, missed period, nausea, and I have gained weight.
It got so bad that I freaked out thinking that I was possibly pregnant and I took a test only for it to be negative. (Thank God). Hopefully switching to Yasmin will be better for me.

Hello Ladies,
I have been on Ovcon for only a short while and I CAN NOT stand it anymore. Its only been 1 1/2 week since I started the pack I have experienced horrible headaches, nausea, vomiting, back aches, moodiness, blurred vision, fainting feelings (very light headed), insomnia, breat tenderness, and weight gain. Like many of you ladies before I had never heard of this pill before, but I decided to give it a try but for only a week I feel worst than I had ever felt on birth control I am stopping this pill TODAY. There is nothing for me good coming out of this I am so disappointed that so many women are paying 30-45 dollars for a product and get such bad side effects. This company needs to know what is happening to all of us women out here with these side effects. I have done some research and here is a customer service email address like me I think you women should voice your opinion. Something is not right with this particular birth control.
