Ovcon and jeans

I am similar to the women on this site. I am 32 with 2 children and decided not to have a tubal ligation after my 2nd baby. I decided to try "the Pill" and boy this was a bad decision. I have been on Ovcon for 1 month now, I have had breast tenderness, severe headaches, some bleeding & extreme depression. Not to mention I can not fit in my jeans right now! This has been a horrible month for me and I am sure for my kids and husband as well. I thank all the woman who posted their side effects, because I thought that there was something really wrong with me and now I know that I am not the only one going through this. Needless to say, I will be taking myself off the pill today!

I just started Ovcon 35 (this is the 2nd week) after being switched from Yasmin. I had breakthrough bleeding with Yasmin and about a 5 lb. weight gain. Now with Ovcom 35 I keep gaining more weight! I've been exercising every day and really watching what I've been eating and every morning the scale keeps going up and my jeans just keep getting tighter. I'm contemplating just going off of this pill any day now.

I too feel like I am retaining an awful lot of water. All of a sudden I couldn't get my jeans zipped. This is very upsetting to me. I hate feeling this way. I am in the third week of my second month and bleeding steadily. Any exertion seems to make it gush. I hate this. First Nuva Ring made me bleed for 11 straight days Now Ovacon is making me gain weight I am taking it for PCS but I don't think it's working. I also am having intense abdominal cramping if I do sit ups.

I've been using Ovcon 35 for 2.5 mos. now. I don't like it. I was on Mircette at first, but it wasn't strong enough for me. I had constant break through bleeding--weeks at a time for 2 mos! So I switched. Since I've been on Ovcon, I have gained about 6-8 lbs. I can hardly fit into some of my jeans. I feel like I'm retaining a lot of water. Today, I'm in the middle of the 3rd week of my pack and I had my period. Not just spotting--it's a menstrual flow. I'm going back to my gyno and I'm going to ask to switch to Yasmin.
