    Not taking the brown pills
    When I was on Yasmin I never bothered to take the last week of pills because they were just placebo. I know the brown pills from Femcon are iron supplements, which I don't really think I need anyway. Why did they make the placebo pills into iron supp - 21% more...

    I thought brown pills give u a period. I havent seen a period ever since depo shot and i want a period. I been on femcon fe in less than a week, but im afraid they may interrupt my period. If i only take brown pills, will i get a period?

    I've never taken the brown ones since I've been on Femcon, which is 5 months now. My gyno said they're totally not necessary. She just said that it may help with cramps. And she said that when you're on your period, you're losing blood which makes yo - 28% more...

    I would hold off on taking any antidepressants for a while. Keep in mind that even when you discontinue taking Yasmin it may stay in your system for up to 3 months. I would take the Femcon. Give it a good 3 months to adjust to your body. It is a real - 22% more...

    Femcon FE mild headaches, femcon, definitley, bloating
    I actually only had mild headaches for the first week. I really like Femcon and am surprised that I didn't have nausea or bloating, but I have been fine. I would definitley recommend it to anyone wanting to try a low dose pill.

    I've definitely been overly emotional on this product. Normally I wasn't moody hardly at all. I don't have bad mood swings, but I've found that it doesn't take much to make me feel like I'm about to cry. When I'm at home I usually cry every other day - 12% more...

    A lot of birth control pills cause mood swings, but Femcon is considered to have low risk of mood swings. I've been prescribed it because of that. I used take Ovcon 35, but more recently was on Yasmin and when I asked my doctor to switch me back to O - 62% more...

    It is very uncommon for Femcon to cause moodiness. It has the lowest progestin (which can be the culprit of mood swings) of any on the market. You need to consider switching doctors if you doctor switched you from a branded efficacious pill to a gene - 60% more...

    There is no study or data to prove that oral contraceptive such as Femcon Fe causes hair loss. I think your problem could be the source of something else. Don't stop taking your pills without consulting your ob-gyn. You could experience unscheduled b - 14% more...
