Desogen and breast tenderness

I have tried five different birth control pills including Desogen, Ortho tri-cyclen, Mircette, Alesse, and Yasmin. Desogen was by far the absolute scariest. After being on Desogen for just a week I found myself severly depressed and even contemplated suicide, which I had NEVER in my entire life even though about. I had horrible mood swings and a feeling of impending doom for no reason at all. As for the other pills, Ortho tri-cyclen and Yasmin has similar side effects like moodiness, weight-gain, breast tenderness, breakthrough bleeding, and fatigue. Alesse and Mircette had less of the mood side effects for me but they did both cause breakthrough bleeding and vaginal dryness. I had breakthrough bleeding on Alesse for the entire year and a half I was taking it. That will make you not want to have sex.

Desogen is a pill that causes many unwanted side effects. I have taken i for almost one year and I am going to stop. For a long time, I thought everything was in my head, but A LOT of people i've talked to say they experienced the same things I did. The usual weight gain, nausea and breast tenderness is not a big deal. But MOOD SWINGS, LIGHTHEADEDNESS, FORGETFULLNESS. FATIGUE and DEPRESSION have all made my life hell for one year. Really consider this before you take desogen, even if your doctor tells you these things aren't likely to occur. Doctor's don't know everything about the pill.

I started on this medication 6 days ago as part of a fertility treatment (I'm going to be having in vitro fertilization). So far I must say I have quite a bit of breast tenderness and headaches every day. I do have some nausea so I don't know if it's pill or headacke related. Hopefully the side effects improve quickly!!!

I've been on Desogen for two months now and am switching to another pill. Biggest complaint is MAJOR mood swings. Angry, pick fights with my husband, cry for no reason, and the feeling that I can't stop myself once I'm set off. It's horrible! Only good thing is it made my breasts swell a cup size, but it was very painful. My gyno told me this pill and breast tenderness can be affected by caffeine. I'd rather give up the pill than my morning cup of java!

I got painful, cyst-like acne, breast tenderness, weird stabbing stomach cramps, headaches, and nausea--almost the same symptoms as pregnancy! It started making me paranoid that I was pregnant...
