Femcon FE side effects

I am in awe reading all of these comments and to the point of tears due to my new found emotional self. I just made an appointment today with my doctor because this past month has been awful with the amount of side effects I have been coming across. After the appointment, for some strange reason, I decided to look up what the side effects of Femcon were from other people's point of view. Now, I have been on this birth control for quite a while, and in the beginning I had a lot of break through bleeding, but the doctor said it was normal. And I thought that my restless sleeping was because of my stressful life and the amount of activities I was doing in a daily schedule. However, over the past couple months my attitude and mood swings have been out of control. Unfortunately my boy friend of four years has witnessed a side of me that not even I've seen. I have break through bleeding constantly, I'm extremely emotional, sometimes depressed, and I feel nausea after EVERY time I take that pill. If I miss the pill and take it a few hours later or the next morning, I can predict that I will have an emotional outbreak, feel nausea, and have cold sweats. I originally went on this pill to help with the pain of cysts in my ovaries, but this isn't even worth it anymore. I can't wait to tell my doctor to get me off of this stuff as soon as possible.

Thanks everyone for sharing. This has helped clarify my gut instincts.

I've Been Taking The Pill, I'd Say For About Three Months. I'm Sixteen Years Old. It Has Caused A Lot Of Problems For Me. I've Had Weight Gain, And Irregular Bleeding. Before, I Took Yaz. I Had To Get That Switched Because Every time I Had Sexual Intercourse I Would Bleed. Now On Femcon, I Just Randomly Bleed. Last Month, I Probably Went Sixteen Days With A Period, && Now, I'm Eleven Pills Into The Pack And Heavily Bleeding Again. I Would Say, That Since On The Pill, I've Gained About Ten To Twelve Pounds. Anyone Else Have Symptoms Like This?

I'm so glad I found this site. I have an IUD, but I have been talking Femcon FE for about 6 months because I had cysts on my ovaries which were making my life miserable. I have had countless yeast infections; I went to my general practitioner and she gave me antibiotics. They cleared up for about 2 weeks and then returned. When I don't have a yeast infection I still have discharge. I also have gained weight. It's only been about 5 lbs., but it's been all in my stomach. I exercise for 45 minutes every day and eat healthy, but I look like I'm in the early stages of pregnancy. I just finished my pack, and I'm never taking this again.

I just started taking Femcon FE about three weeks ago and so far can’t say I have noticed anything that’s being mention in the posts related to nausea and mood swings. But I do have more appetite than before and I am hungry all the time. Also I have more bowel movements than usual. My breasts are tender for last 2 days and am cramping but that could be due to my period cycle coming near. I guess that’s expected. I take the pill before going to bed each night I have been sleeping quiet well actually, better than normal. I am not going to jump to any conclusion yet and will continue taking it for couple of more weeks and see how my body reacts to this new change. So far it’s been okay. I guess just have to watch what I eat and be cautious about my health.

Hi Everyone, I am so happy i found this site. I feel just a little better that maybe this Femcon Fe is prob working the right way. Doctor had told me I has polycystic cysts on my left and right ovary so he put me on Femcon Fe. I am 30 years old and I was never on any type of birth control pill in my life (this would be the first time). I have been on this pill for almost a month now. A month ago when i went tomy GYN he had said that the pill would help stop the bleeding (prior to this I had been bleeding for maybe a month). A few days later I did stop bleeding but a few days before dec 26 I had been spotting (on and off). On Dec 27th I started bleeding (my period i guess), its Jan 5th now and I am still bleeding...and cramping (been cramping everyday). I feel as if I am bleeding a lot, been changing my pad a lot. I don't know if this is because I just started this pill and it may change later or what? I panic so much about things like this...is anyone having these same effects or had?

I can't believe what im reading, I have almost every side effect to what you are all saying. When I called my doctor after the 3rd day of taking the pill, she said it was normal, nausea for hours is normal! Take it @ night... ok still nausea. I thought it was just me getting older, (44) my mood swings are so out of control I would divorce me...my breast are large to begin with, I feel like im carrying 20lb weights on each one. Leg cramps, nausea, not sleeping, hot flashes. After reading this im done... I'll deal with the ovarian cyst my way...Time for a new doctor to. Good luck girls

I started taking Femcon fe in late December of 08. It's been about a year since I've taken any birth control so I was having problems remembering to take them. I did what the pills instructed when you forget and I took 2 pills on the same day. I forgot again to take them and repeated the same thing for 7 days only. I just decided to stop taking them and start fresh when I get my next period. Little did I know I was going to have a blood flow. I thought I was getting my period, but it wasn't red it was a burgundy color. I've been bleeding for 3 days know and it's getting heavier. Another side effect is lack of sleep. I haven't been able to sleep at night. It's been 2 nights and I can't sleep. Also, I have been urinating much more than usual and having bowel movements much more than usual. Anyone experiencing the same things? Cramps, bad headaches and mood swings. After 7 days all this!!! I will not take these pills anymore!

so i just started taking Femcon Fe a month ago after a Mirena IUD removal, no side effects for the most part except for the terrible mood swings I freaked out on my significant other because of something that he had no control over and normally if we fight i'm okay with giving him time to cool down you know just backing off for a bit but instead i got all emotional this time, crying randomly and then the next second im ticked off and just want to scream, im a pretty emotional person anyway but this is so not me i don't cry over nothing normally or want to scream at someone just because their there but since i've been taking the pill i can't seem to control my emotions

I've been taking this pill for 6 months. In the beginning it was okay. I had break thru bleeding for a couple days but it would go away. If I missed the exact time to take the pill my period would come on early and I would spot for almost 2 weeks! I decided to look up reviews for this pill online and discovered this site. I never had mood swings and couldn't put my finger on why all of the sudden I became moody. After reading I am convinced that it is this pill making me moody. My poor boyfriend has been catching it for months. Going back to Ovcon

The only thing I felt was nausea for the first month.
If I missed a pill I will have spotting and cramps.
I have put on 2 or 3 lbs. but ladies stop blaming
the pill, you have to learn to control your appetite and diet.
If you research it the actual pill doesn't make you fat duh!
I like Femcon Fe and I'll continue to use it!

Oh yeah...and I keep getting heart flutters or palpitations also. Anybody else?

I keep getting these sharp pains in the bottom of my feet and breasts. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm not sure if it is from the pill or not. I'm not on any other type of medication.

OK....so ive been experiencing spotting and clotting since August...i went to see my dr and he put me on ortho tricyclen lo it wasnt working so he put me on provera for 2 weeks n it didnt work....a trip to the er n here i am on my 2nd month of FemCon 3rd row of pills and im already experiencing bleeding it happened last month also......stomach pains n nausea....make for a long day.....and the weight GAIN.....My MOODS r terrible....my husband has learned to brush it off but I can cry bout the smallest things i feel depressed....and want to rip someones head off for no reason.....I hate birth control in the first place.......i Dont know whats wrong with me...anybody have any advice..........

I have taken 4 Femcon pills. I only eat homemade salads. I ate one at 6pm. At 4am the next morning, I began vomiting for 4 hours straight. Toast, crackers, pepto - nothing helped. Yesterday, I couldn't even eat anything. Today, I couldn't even push down 3 bites of salad. After FOUR days only, I cannot fit into the jeans I have been wearing since 9th grade. I am 22 and my hips are the size of kansas. My husband has noticed larger breasts, but I can't tell. I am very very moody, my headaches have been terrible! I take 2 Excedrin migraine every 4 hours but no relief. It's Christmas time so doctors are closed, but I will not take anymore. Fortunately I got samples. Who hs left femcon for something else and found a better product? There was no discussion between doctor and I about what pill would be best. I just told her I can't swallow pills and she gave me this. I just got married and this is my first BC pill. I do not like condoms. Someone please recommend something good!!

Femcom Fe has been the wurst I am going on my 2nd week
today I experience vagina dryness this is the wurst thing that can happened to a woman,
and ever since i got on the pill I been in bad mood, constipated stomach pain, back pain, really crazy
I am getting off this pill and will let you know how it goes from here
I have always had a very high sex drive and Femcom totally mess me up :( I am so depress right now I have cry the whole day
your reply is appreciated ladies,

i WISH SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME ALL THE BAD ABOUT THIS PILL BECAUSE OF THIS SO CALLED CONTRACEPTIVE I STILL GOT PREGNANT!! AND YES I TOOK IT AS DIRECTED!!

My doc put me on Femcon Fe after Mirena IUD removal.

The pills were just temporary to cover me between Mirena IUD removal and tubal ligation surgery.

I started Femcon FE on 11/17 and by 12/16 had gained approximately 10 lbs...10 lbs in 1 month!!! I stopped Femcon Fe on 12/16 and have lost 4 lbs of the 10 lb gain without any effort.

The other side effect was a nice breakout of acne all over my chin.

I am thankful that I do not have to take birth control pills any longer and will finally have hormones in my body that my body naturally produces.

I started taking Femcon FE in November after the first couple of days I experienced nausea. Half way through the 2nd row of white pills I began to spot but the blood was a very dark brown and there was some cloting. I figured that after my cylcle was complete and my body adjusted that this would change. NO here it is December and I was still spotting and now I have began spotting again. So i've basically been spotting an entire month. I have stopped taking the pill and hope that my body regulates itself. Between the headaches, mood swings and cramping I don't know what to do. It seems as though I've had my cycle twice already for December

I have been on Femcon for three months now, and I am ready to call it quits. I thought the minty freshness would help me remember to take it-- which it did. Yet, that's been its only positive attribute. I have had yeast infection after infection, sore breasts, and vaginal dryness. I also cramp for about 4 days before I start the brown pills, and start spotting about two days befrore. Emotionally, I feel numb-- except for when I start to cry for no reason. I have to struggle to get myself to do anything. It's awful. I have one white pill left. After that, I'm calling it quits.

I'm in my early thirties, I was on Gynera for almost 10 years and switched to Femcon about a year ago. After a couple of months with little spotting its now been 2 months without a period and my Gyn said I should not get it at all (that's why I'm not freaking out yet). I'm not so sure if this is normal... I haven't followed on other side effects, maybe migraine but I had it worse before, irritability: I thought it was me, breast tenderness perhaps, frequent yeast infection, yes... I don't know, I was getting them for free, as samples.

So.. the beginning of Femcon Fe seemed great and all (no side effects) has not helped my period however ive tried 3 other kinds and they Never seem to help-- but experiencing the very real vivid dreams.. so glad other ppl had this symptom- weight gain is horrible- im not fat but i eat healthy and exercise and NOTHING im ready to give up this pill-and possibly all birth control pills- im sick of feeling "crazy" and upset over nothing- over reacting and so fourth. this is not me. im taking a break from the pill. i will let u know what happens.. just ready to feel like me again

I just started FEMCON this month. I actually went to my doctor because I was feeling so bad, she said to give it at least 90 days to work itself out. I had terrible headaches, stomach pain and nausea, (so bad I could not eat for two days), and I have started my cycle still on the white pills, with 9 days before I get to the brown ones. My cycle is very heavy and very bad cramping, it seems like it is not going to stop! I have had trouble sleeping and very vivid dreams. Nothing emotional, I guess a little cranky because of the headaches and cramps!

I just started taking Femcon FE. I have PCOS they have put me on different drugs to help with the constant pain. (Gyn did exploratory surgery to check things out. My ovaries are the size of my uterus. Fun I know.) Since starting the pain has worsened not lessened. I am so sick to my stomach that I can't keep any food down, and I haven't slept in 3 days. Not to mention the bleeding. This is so not worth it. I am glad that some people are getting relief. I'm just not one of them.

I've been taken femcon for about 2 months and i've started to get this red spots that hurt not itch and the 2nd one turned into a blister and I had to get a byopsty done to see what was wrong, and i got a 3rd one on my leg so i stopped taken Femcon. in addition to the breakouts i gained a lot of week and my periods were not usual, i left a message fot my gyn, but i still have to wait for the results of my byopsty. Overall i prefer loestrin fe but i had to may breakthrough bleeding episodes because of stress.

recurrent yeast infections

I started taking this medication at the end of October for birth control because I thought it couldn't hurt to be taking something just in case. Immediately I began noticing changes in my mood. I was always short fused, had little patience with people, was easily frustrated and got emotional over the smallest things.I was sick to my stomach and had a hard time going to sleep. I stopped taking the pill after I completed all the white pills. I never took the brown pills because I had had it with the extreme mood swings and I figured I would start my period anyways. It has been almost three weeks and I have not gotten my period! I am seriously beginning to worry. Has anyone else been in my situation and stopped taking the medicine without getting their periods?

I have been on FemCon for almost a month now. I was on Othro Tryclene before, but due to have Polycystic Ovaries, the doctor changed my pill. He told me that it would help shrink the cysts and help with the pain. This it did do, so far, however I am so agitated all the time, I want to scream. For Thanksgiving I snapped at my best friend, who now won't talk to me. My mom called last night and I felt like I wanted to rip her head off, but did not know why. My boyfriend is always on edge. My son doesn't want to be in the same room with me half the time. I do not like this feeling. I started having a thick white discharge yesterday, at first thinking that starting a new pill and having my hormones changing caused a yeast infection, but there is no itching or burning. I have suffered with a migraine for the past week and every night get a headache after taking the pill. I get so thirsty before bed I feel like I could drink a gallon of water, I thought it was just me, but I read other people had that problem. I am dizzy most of the day and feel like I am coming down with the flu or morning sickness. I have had problems with nausea and diarrhea from the cyst and since taking this pill, it has gotten worse. This pill was supposed to help, but seems as though things are worse. I plan on calling my doctor Monday morning because I cannot live this way.

I started Femcon Fe about 3 months ago. About two weeks after starting the pill, I had gotten a UTI. Not thinking it was the pill, I get it treated. A week after finishing the medication. I got another UTI and got treated for it again. Now, I have this constant burn all the time when I urinate (I previously had gotten tested for any STD, so I know it is not that). Everyday, I take AZO to ease the pain. Also, I have noticed at night I get painful leg cramps. I have also gained about 10 pounds, and my boobs are HUGE (which I kinda like). Three weeks out of the month I am psycho (yell at my kids like a maniac and snap at anyone). I also started to get dry patches on my face. I really think it is the pill. After reading everyone's comments I know it is the pill. Thanks everyone for posting cause if not I would have thought I needed to be in a mental institution, need to seek medical attention for circulatory and urinary tract problems, and joined weight watchers. I am stopping the pill tonight!

ok, i started femcon this past Sunday and i was so excited because it seemed like a really good pill. the first day i felt fine.. second day i was fine but then i had really bad nausea that night (i have acid reflux so this is normal) so i tried to go to sleep but it kept me up. i ran to the bathroom and spit up.. then the next night i did the same thing. i woke up nauseated that next day and had a little sickness but went to school and did not eat anything.. as i sat there i had chills. i started running a fever. and i just wasn't in my right mind, i started getting snappy with my friends. then Thursday and Friday morning (about 15 min ago) i woke up and had diarrhea and vomiting bad. it scared me and my boyfriend so bad he took me to walmart at 12 Thursday night to get a pregnancy test! i don't know when this is going to end but im over it.. i want to stop taking it but i recently found out i have endometriosis and that is why my gyn put me on this pill.. his office is closed until Monday. ugh. should this be happening after just 5 days?

I have been taking Femcon for about 2 months now to possibly reduce formation of cyst on my fallopian tube. My periods are shorter, very nice. However my family, boyfriend and everyone around me agrees that i've had terrible mood swings. Extremely emotional and i am not usually an emotional person, crying over the littlest things, getting mad at the drop of a dime. Also this 2nd month i've been taking it i've noticed my breast are tender. Im glad from reading this website im not the only one.

After suffering from severe cramps and heavy bleeding for several years I decided to go to the doctor to see if I might possibly have endometriosis. He put me on Femcon in hopes of getting the pain and bleeding under control. I immediately noticed side effects from this medication. Much of what many of you are posting. I had constant tenderness and discomfort in my breasts, vivid/realistic nightmares, weight gain and most of all severe moodiness and irritability. I felt angry and hostile three weeks out of every month. Not a pleasant situation for me or the people around me. After two months of this, I called my doctor to possibly switch to something else. His response: exercise, high protein diet and Prozac as needed. I have been on a high protein diet for the better part of 20 years and have been exercising regularly all my life. As I am already on Paxil, albeit an extremely low dose (6.25mg-half of a 12.5), I found the Prozac part of his solution to be questionable. Number one, I don't believe in over medicating. Number two, it is my understanding that with antidepressants like Prozac, you have to take them consistently to achieve the desired effects. Having been on Prozac in the past, I was not willing to go back on it for any reason. I continued to take the Femcon for two more months with no relief of the side effects. Two days ago I went to a different doctor who put me on the generic version of Ortho Tri-Cyclen. It's been almost two weeks that I have been off the Femcon and I literally feel like a new person. The Femcon did great with controlling the pain and bleeding. However, that was no longer worth the negative side effects I had been experiencing on a daily basis for the last four months. I agree with many of you. The negative and/or positive effects will be individual. This is just my experience with it.

I was on Femcon FE for 6 months just for hormone replacement I have been on BC for 10 years never had the problems like I have with this drug. Severe arm muscle aches but worst of all lower back muscle cramping at night so bad I could barley get out of bed in the morning. I was starting to think I had arthritis, numbness in fingers and arms at night as well as stiffness in my fingers joint pain in my knees very bad. All this was a constant and the back cramping was getting worse with every night. I have stopped taking this drug 1 week ago and already see big improvement in mood, numbness is gone and the back stiffening and cramping has greatly improved, the muscle aches are almost gone Thank god I figured out it was this horrible drug.

I have been on Femcon for about a month. I didn't get my period last month and this month (I just started my 2nd pack of pills Sunday) my nipples hurt. I guess that is normal with this pill. My face has seemed to clear up and my sex drive seems to be getting stronger but who knows what that is due to. I started taking this pill because of PCOS due to an IUD I think. Not sure if this pill is working yet but so far I don't have anything really bad to say about it! HJ.

I just finished my first week of Femcon FE and on the last pill of the week got a huge migraine. I thought it was just a headache at first, but when I woke up the next morning with it I knew it was more than a simple headache. I am not sure if it will go away after the three months that it says side effects usually last. I am just hoping it does. This is the first form of BC that I have not had severe nausea...yet. I love it other than the migraines.

I am 22 and I just started taking femcon almost 3 months ago. I haven't been on birth control in over 2 years and the first month was ok but recently i have been having diarrhea, stomach pains, headaches, heart flutters, and general aches and pains and extreme breast tenderness. Also, when i started taking it 3 months ago i discovered a nickel size dry patch on my neck and in to my face that is itchy, but it is only in that one spot and it wasn't there till i started the meds. I seem to have normal periods which last about 3-4 days, but they are lighter than normal which is good, but I just don't feel right on this medication. I don't know... it is strange... almost like i am anxious about being on it and i never even read the comments and concerns about this med until just now. I have also had trouble getting to sleep at night as well. I want to quit taking them but i am in the middle of my 3rd month...can i quit now? I need to quit them!

I started this pill about 2 months ago when my gyn told me I had endometriosis, and said this could help. I received both of my periods on time, but this pill was driving me crazy the first month with nausea, and abdominal pain, and the second month my breasts started to change, meaning in appearance, and are now really sensitive. I felt so strange that I took a pregnancy test but it was once again negative. This pill is awful, and I believe it gave me a urinary tract infection which I haven't had sense I was a child

I started Femcon FE about 7 months ago because I needed to start a birth control regimen because I was getting married. I started this pill 3 months before my wedding so my body would have a chance to adjust.

I have ALWAYS had normal and regular periods like clockwork. I've never had any issues with my periods in my entire life, until I started Femcon. The first month I was on the pill was fine...I got my period like normal. The second month my period was horrific....I bled for 13 days straight and had horrible cramps, unlike any I ever had before.

The 3rd and 4th month I skipped my period because of my wedding. I was one of the unfortunate that would have had my period on my wedding day, which is the ONLY reason that I skipped.

I am now in month 7 since I started the pill and it's been 3 months since my wedding. I've yet to have a period at all since the wedding even though I am taking the pills like normal...it's been a full 3 months with no period. I've had light spotting the last 2 months, but absolutely no period. I am getting concerned. What's the deal???? Has anyone else had this problem?

Is it just me, or is anyone experiencing some sort of dry mouth w/ this pill? I've been on the pill for 3 months now, and this side effect came about when I started taking the pill. I'm wondering if it's just the funny Louisiana weather, the pill or something else?

I started taking FEMCON FE about 6 weeks ago after being put on Seasonique, which caused me to have a period for 2 months straight. I started the FEMCON FE when the doctor told me to and bled for about 6 more days then stopped for 2 days then spotted for 3 days then started my period. My period was much heavier w/this pill, but it was only the first month. I've noticed that my moods are much better w/FEMCON FE than with Seasonique, which while taking it nearly cost me my marriage and my job!! My skin is fine and I'm actually losing weight. I'm only 1 1/2 weeks into my second pack, but will check back after third month.

low sex drive. anyone experiencing that ?

UPDATE: I wrote yesterday concerning my possible side effects from Femcon FE. Today I spoke with the OB/GYN office and they feel as though I am gaining weight based on the birth control pills AND that the hormones in them are likely also to blame for my recent crying spells and increased anxiety. I am now officially allowed to say that I will no longer be taking the Femcon. By no means does this mean it is a bad pill, it just is not a good pill for me.

I have been on Femcon FE for over a year now. First of all EVERYONE reacts different to ALL medications! Second, you need to know your body and its problems before you start a new medication. Third, it takes a while for your body to adjust to a new medication....give it time. Femcon has treated me just fine. I've never had any "side effects". I am emotional.........but that's just me and how I am built..........not the pills. My hair is falling out but it is due to a hormonal imbalance from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. I have heart palapations but I was diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse four years ago. I have gained weight but I've also lost, gained and lost again within the past year. All of that being said.....I absolutely love Femcon!!!

My daughter who has PCOS 16 years old just started Fem Com 6 days ago by the end of the 4 th day she was in terrible abdominal pain, headache, vertigo, nausea overall feeling miserable missed school yesterday could not even get out of bed and feeling awful today! She has an emergency visit to the gynecologist this afternoon somehow I doubt they will say it is the meds.

I just started taking Femcon and I have had had the chills, upset stomach, and ended up with a migraine to boot. Again, I have just started taking it and this was my second dose of it last night. Does anyone have nay recommendations on what I should do?

daily heavy bleeding

I am a 27 year old who has been on birth control for the past 11 years. I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen for the majority of that time until my sophomore year of college when the doctor suggested I switch to the "shot". Depo Provera caused me to bleed continuously for several months on end and I was then switched back to pills by my new gynecologist. He placed me on a generic form of the ortho which again worked wonders for several years. At 25, I started bleeding constantly from the generic and was switched to several Loestrin 24 which completely stopped the breakthrough bleeding... initially. After a year of it, we were back to constant bleeding. The ONLY side effect I have ever experienced from birth control is breakthrough bleeding. I moved cities and with a new town came a new doctor who thought Femcon might work. I was prescribed it in May and have been taking it for nearly 6 months. Over that time I have been so happy with it as there is no bleeding except when there should be. That is until I read today that my increased anxiety (I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder to begin with), vivid, realistic nightmares, and 15 lb weight gain could be caused by this pill. I am getting married in January and my dress barely fits at this point because of the weight gain. I go to the gym 5 days a week for cardio and weight training yet keep getting fatter... I thought I was stressed out by the wedding and that is what was causing my emotional imbalance... I really thought I was losing it. I just called my gyno and left a VM asking if this could be the reason... Don't quit taking a birth control based on other peoples reports, they are all going to react differently to different people and all meds come with an initial side effect that goes away once your body is accustomed to having that hormone or chemical in it. Initial nausea is common... I have always had it when I started a new medication, especially birth control. It goes away after a couple of weeks. Will keep you posted.

I am 21 years old, and I've been taking it for 2 years now. The Femcon FE pill totally leveled out my hormones, cleared up my face, shortened my periods, and even knocked out my bed-riddening cramps!! I definitely experience breast tenderness, but that's about it. I'm basically in love with this one, and have been shocked to read so many bad reviews of it.

I started Femcon FE almost a month ago. As soon as I started it, I felt an instant change in my mood. All month I have been depressed and cried for no apparent reason. I believe I have PMDD so naturally this week is the week for my severe pms symptoms. Two days ago I crashed and burned. I cried and cried. I HATE this pill. I know I'm supposed to try it out for at least 3 months, but if i continue to feel like this its not worth it.

I posted other things about femcon before .I bin taking it for about a week and i hate it .Not only I had the side effect i metchion but i think im lousing weight and i cant sleep . and im break out on other places besides my face.

So ive been on Yasmin, ortho tri cyclin lo and now my second month of femcon all of which caused different but equally annoying acne. Yasmin made me red and really bumpy acne, tri cyclin was good until right before my period my face went crazy and the rest of the month my face recovered. with femcon i am red again with acne on my jaw line (probably the only place i didn't have it before) any one with similar problems got something else that will work?
