I started taking Ovcon two months ago and have had nothing but problems. I had irregular bleeding while taking the active pills and no period when I should have had it....I also had severe abdominal pain and nausea. I haven't taken the pill in about three days and yesterday I experienced severe ankle and leg swelling. I not sure the swlling is a side effect, but I have NEVER had this happen to me before.

Hi,
I have been taking Ovcon 30 for tow months. During both months I have experienced irregular bleeding. It is not just spotting it is heavy bleeding. I also haven't been able to sleep, this past month. Due to this I am going to switch my pill to Yasmin.

I have been taking Ovcon for three weeks and have been experiencing consistent cramping not associated with my period and irregular bleeding. Is this a normal side effect for the first few weeks or should I be concerned?

I have gained 5 pounds per month since taking ovcon and i am still having irregular bleeding bloating and abdominal discomfort. It has helped with my nightsweats and difficulty sleeping but the other side effects concern me.

I STARTED TAKING OVCON 50 APPROX. 2 WEEKS AGO. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE GAINED 5 POUNDS. THE STRANGE THING IS I HAVE BEEN THE SAME WEIGHT FOR 5 YEARS. ALSO, I HAVE EXPERIENCED IRREGULAR BLEEDING & ABDOMINAL DISCOMFORT, WHICH I PREVIOUSLY NEVER EXPERIENCED. ARE THESE SIDE EFFECTS NORMAL?

I have been taking Ovcon for 3 weeks now and have started having abdominal cramping and irregular bleeding. Is this a concern or will it go away?

I've been taking Ovcon 35 for about 10 mos now and this month, I've experienced irregular bleeding. It is not just spotting, but bleeding similar to a menstrual period w/slight abdominal discomfort. Please advise whether this is a regular side effect of Ovcon 35 & whether or not I should discontinue use.

I started taking ovcon-35 almost 3 months ago and for the first month i had irregular bleeding, the 2nd month everything was fine, and now i'm experiencing intense dizziness and fatigue. I was tested for anemia and that came back negative, i'm awaiting my results for mono, and if that comes back negative i was wondering if it could be from the pill. Is this a known side effect?

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.
