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.

I have been on Ovcon for one week now. I have been sick the entire week. I have had insomnia, nausa, vomiting, and migrane headaches. Is this a normal side effect of this pill? I do not remember having this happen on other pills? I want to know if anyone else is having these problems. I am ready to discontinue use and see if all these symptoms stop.

I have been on Ovcon 35 for 4 months. Put on it for continuous use to prevent endometriosis. I had minor symptoms before the pill. I experienced spotting and breakthrough bleeding most of the months for at least 2 weeks per month. I could live with that if I really had to , althought very annoying. I have had slowly progressing depression (including insomnia, irritability and memory loss)until finally I had a manic depressive episode where I had suicidal thoughts. It took 2 days for the "fog" to clear and to realize that it was the damn pill. I stopped it immediately, obviously this is not a side effect I care to deal with. Feeling better already!!

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 started taking ovcon about 3 months ago. i was on depoprovera for 6 years and my hormone levels became insanly off balanced. I liked the pill at first. It actually helped me lose a few pounds (curved my hunger) and my boobs went up a full cup size. i had an increased sex drive but can't have sex very often because whenever i would have an orgasm i would have this brownish secretion for a few days after. i read that this has something to do with the bill affecting my liver. my periods were pretty normal which was good being as i hadn't had one in 6 years. but i constantly have an upset stomach, terrible constipation, and mood swings. i'ver also had trouble sleeping.

I have just switched to Ovcon 35 and already I had sleeplessness last night, i realize it is the second day. From the posts on here it seems sort of less than half that have not had any problems. any advice?

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).
