I'm into my third week on Necon. Previously, I used Levlen (different components if you do the research) and had no noticeable adverse side-effects.
Two weeks after my period had ended, I started bleeding, brownish with small clot mixed with bright red. I felt (still do) tired, gained 8lb in 2 weeks (according to doctor's scales), had terrible mid and lower back pain for three days while bleeding over the weekend and even a strong NSAID (Voltaren) could not totally knock out the pain. (Back pain is not normal for me even if when I have my standard period.) Feeling of fogginess or not being able to fully wake up and feeling tired throughout the day. Went and had an ultrasound and blood work done because I Have a history of Ovarian cancer. (I'm 32.) Everything was normal, so will be stopping this contraceptive. If this is what the cause is (and it seems pretty clear), it's awful. This mixture (drug) does not gel well with my system at all. Would not recommend.
