I have been on Norethindrone for 9 weeks and just a couple weeks into starting these BCPs I noticed frequent and severe headaches. I very rarely got headaches before, but I didn't think anything of it. It's been 7 weeks since then and I've noticed and realized a lot of symptoms, but couldn't for the life of me figure out why. I just had a baby 4 months ago so I thought maybe these symptoms were related to hormonal changes. My BIGGEST concern is my hair loss! I have hand-fulls of hair, lost, after every hair washing. The rug on my bathroom floor is saturated with hair, not that I have brushed out, but what has fallen out after drying my hair with a towel. I have read you can temporarily lose your hair after giving birth up to about 6 months, so again, I thought my problems were due to hormonal changes. The following are additional syptoms I've experienced: haven't started my period, cramping/sore uterus, bumps/uneven skin on my face, sudden, severe, and frequent headaches, dizziness/feeling dismantled, large amounts of discharge, and hair LOSS. As a matter of fact, I have a Dr. appt tomorrow to address these concerns.

I switched from mircette to ovcon 35 because of sex drive issues. I have been on ovcon for 1 month and am miserable. I have had break through bleeding, severe headaches and nausea at 3am, and have been gaining weight like crazy. Yesterday i decided to quit birth control all together and go back to condoms. I think my husband and i had more sex when i was using them anyway.

I have been using ovcon for 3 weeks now and it has been no picnic. I have had severe headaches, nausea, pain and swellin in my left eye, cramping (so bad i too thought i may have had an ulser) sore throat, dizziness, constant thirst and weak, yet unable to eat. I even went to the emergency room thinking that something more serious was wrong.
MAYBE THIS DRUG SHOULD BE FURTHUR INVESTIGATED!!!
I never had any of these problems while on ortho-tri cyclen.

Does that make sense? I have had this disorder from the time I turned about 25. I am now 35. I have been to several Physicians and 90% think it's depression. However, the reason I'm depressed is because I'm so freaking tired. It takes everything I have to cook supper and wash dishes.

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!
