I was use to using the patch, did great. Now 9 months after having my baby, my dr. started me on femcon. I hate it!!!! I have been bleeding for 11 days. My doctor's nurse says give it time. I am sick and tired of this period. I will be starting my 2nd month of pills,tomorrow, if it doesn't stop soon I will toss them in the trash.

This pill has been a disaster for me. I have been taking it for three months and I have been bleeding for three months! My doctor says give the pill a chance but I am so discouraged, angry and frustrated. I am switching pills after I finish my third pack I can't take it anymore I am miserable, moody and I want to cry all the time. I hope others have a more pleasant experience than I did.

I was on Ovcon 35 and then switched to Femcon when it came out on the market at least seven years ago and I am very pleased with the drug. If I miss a pill I have spotting for a day but nothing serious. I absolutely love this drug and would not take anything else.
