Love, love, love Ovcon 35. Didn't give me any breakthrough bleeding like other pills & made my breasts fuller. Stopped my painful periods too.

I found out per my DO that this birth control has a serious side effect called Anorexia, and I have lost a severe amount of weight and could not understand why. Another patient of my DO's was on it and was having the same problem.

I've been very nauseated while taking this pill. I wake up nauseated and is that way throughout the day. My breasts are very tender. I already where a 44 G so i'm hoping it doesn't increase my breast size, but close friends and family say that my breast size has increased. However, the pill was effective in making my period go away. When I quit taking the medicine within a day or so my menstrual cycle shows up. Overall the side effects are worth it because now I can live life normally without bleeding so much. I feel more energetic. Read More Read Less

Boobs hurt all month long except for during my period. Went up two cup sizes. Cleared up my skin. No mood swings. Gained 5 pounds. All around a good pill.

i no longer have the pain i had with other pills concerning the cyst on my ovary. my period is only 2 days at most. the only think i've noticed is some slight skin darkening rigth above my lip but overall i'm very happy with this pill and its the generic zenchant not the brand.

only problem i have with this medicine is the nausea - but that is normal for me with birth control - i think it's more me than the medicine itself.

After being on birth control for four years, I am tired of taking a pill everyday. However, this has worked great. I had a bit of nausea the first week I was on it, but it went away quickly. I have experienced headaches on my period, but I'm not worried about it since I haven't had it long.

I was on Depo Provera for 8 years and wanted to get pregnant. I did not take any form of birthcontrol for 6 months and still did not have a period. After going through numerous blood tests and ultrasounds, the doc said that the Depo has not left my body yet. He prescribed this pill for me, to get my periods back to normal. I have to take it for 4 months. I hope it works. I have been rather tired lately, and I have noticed that my breasts a very tender and seem a little larger. I dont have any other side effects. I have not had any mood swings or anything like that.Read More Read Less

I did have head aches during the first few days. Love it. No serious side effects like with a previous pill that I took.

Was prescribe this birth control to regulate my periods. It has done what it was prescribed for, but I now have severe mood swings. I always considered myself a very happy person. Lately I snap at the littlest thing.
