Ovcon and sex drive

well let's see here I am only 19 and have been on ovcon 35 for about 10 months since i had my son. Migraines are one of my big things I have never had them like this. And i am always so tired i can sleep for 10 hours and still not want to get up in the morning. And one side after that i just learned of today is a lower sex drive! ya i would say lower i dont have one! I just blamed it on being a new mom and as i said just learned today that this is a side effect. I also can't lose any of this weight from my son and seem to just keep gaining more! This pills sucks and it didnt even regulate me! I am going o back to ortho-tri-cyclin

i've been using ovcon for 3 month now and i've been bleeding iregularly. in 3 months i havent had a normal period. my sex drive is very low and i feel dry. i am very moody too. i am glad i looked it up and see i am not the only one with this problem. i will stop takeing them right now. i didn't evan now that all thees are from the pill.

I switched to Ovcon about 6 months ago when I told my doctor I had no libido on Mircette. Well, Ovcon definitely changed that; in fact, sometimes my libido was out of control. However, my sex drive wasn't the only thing that made me feel aggressive. On Ovcon I was ANGRY at everything and everyone and I'd fall into a depression sometimes as well. I was also anxious. The mood in general caused so much resistance from doing the things I love to do most. I thought the anger was a product of living in Queens, NY, and just being annoyed at the people here, but it was so magnified; I literally felt like I wanted to strangle someone. Not only that, but I was working out more intensely and more frequently than ever and I was still the heaviest I had ever been. The weight gain made me frustrated, angry, and even more depressed and it became a vicious cycle.

My doctor switched me to Yasmin, so I would still have a sex drive, and to decrease the chances of gaining weight. So far, both my body and my mood feel much lighter.

I've been taking Ovcon 35 for 2.5 months now. I was put on the pill due to a cyst that had burst, and in hopes to regulate my cycle for a better chance to get pregnant. I have gained weight, have really tender breasts, bad rash on my legs, headaches, nausea and I am tired all the time. I do now get my period every month always on the week of the green pills, but now its heavier and lasts longer than it used to and the cramps are sometimes very painfull. The only things that are really bothering me about this pill is the rash on my legs and the being tired all the time. No matter how long I sleep I always feel like I havent slept in days. My sex drive has increased a whole lot, but I cant complain about that. I havent really noticed an increase in breast size but I do notice that when they are really tender they feel different, and sometimes the tenderness feels like aching muscles. Like I was weight lifting all day.

I have been on ovcon 50 for about 1 year and a half. I really didn't notice the weight change at first. I have gained 35 pounds over the time that I have been taking this pill. I also never really put two and two together to realize the my sex drive has really slowed down. I had switched to ovcon 50 because I had breakthrough bleeding with ortho trycylen. I am going to switch to ovcon 35 now and see how that works for me. hopefully I'll be skinnier again and getting some all the time!

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 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 been on OVCON 35 for about a month and half. I was prescribed this particular pill for relief of sever pain during menstration. So far the side effects haven't been too bad. My boobs did get a little bigger (but is that really a bad thing?) I did have one spotting episode during the first month while my body adjusted (I am guessing), and I do feel hungry-- a lot, but I was warned by my doctor about both of these side effects. Haven't gained any weight, because I knew prior to keep appetite in check. I just drink lots of water to fill my belly or chew gum. (I also keep a toothbrush in my desk at work... helps curb snacking. I don't want to munch with a nice clean mouth.) I do feel a little more sensitive and needy for attention but not depressed. I can say that I have actually had an increase in sex drive, which is strange because I thought the pill was suppose to suppress it? Haven't heard of anyone experiencing this, either. NOT complaining! Just a little confused. Overall, I do like this pill, and it is working very well for me. I would recommend trying it.
