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.

I'm currently taking Ovcon 35 and so far the only side effects i've had are dizziness and a little bit nauseous. I read some of the other side effects people have been having and I really hope I don't gain any weight. I've been taking it for 1 month now. I did read about the girl that thinks her boobs are getting bigger.. I hope mine do that! LoL

I have been on ovcon 35 for about 3 1/2 weeks and have already begun to experience side effects. within the first 2 weeks I didn't notice anything too drastic but the past week/ week and a half they have begun to spring up like wildfire. I have been naseous throughtout the duration I have been on this but I also have an ulcer so I figured it was caused by that. Also I have been overly emotional and moody at points during my cycle where I never used to be. I began to experience what my mother told me was morning sickness ( naseua in the morning and stomach aches when I first wake up), I have agined about 3 or 4 lbs, my breasts have been extremely sore and sensitive and I also feel as if they are getting larger but they stopped growing about 2 years ago. The first two weeks i had spotting and my period came very early this month (the 3rd week instead of the 4th). This morning I experienced a very painful charlie horse in my leg which i have never previously gotten.. these side effects seem to be the norm after reading all the other posts but this is my first BCP and im a little bit nervous. It was prescribed to me because i have very painful menstrual cramps which, at times, have caused me to pass out from the pain. Does anyone have any recomendations of another BCP I could possibly use with different side effects or should I stay on this one??
