I started taking Femcon Fe 3 weeks ago and at first I had all the side effects that are talked about in the other posting, but I started taking it at night before I go to sleep and it has helped... It seems like i'm sleeping through the side effects. Well except the sore breasts.. I wonder if that will subside if I keep taking them... My breasts feel like I just had a baby and the milk just came in... They are super sore. But other than that all the other side effects stopped when I started taking the pill at night. Hope this helps someone.

I've had experiences with depression and birth control pills in the past...Femcon Fe is no acception. I am now in the 5th month. After the first month, I was experiencing loss of appetite, and nausea anytime I ate anything. During the day, I could barely stay awake, and at night, I kept waking up constantly. My doctor said to keep taking Femcon and the symptoms would improve...I kept at it. After almost losing my boyfriend to one of my RIDICULOUS mood swings, the symptoms seemed to be at bay. Two months later, almost overnight, I'm back to feeling "crazy." The headaches are back. I'm lethargic all the time, experience a lack of energy, no appetite, don't want to get up and go to work, am BEYOND exhausted ALL day long, have trouble staying asleep, resent my boyfriend's existence for NO reason at all, have sore breasts that have seemingly gotten bigger (let's be real ladies, if the price for bigger boobs is feeling emotionally erratic...it's not worth it!), had HORRIBLE period cramps, oh, and the nausea! The emotional instability is the worst. I feel like I can't get a grip on reality and that I'm completely disconnected with my former self. That's all I want back. I really liked my former self!!! : ( It's not worth it to go through life feeling depressed.

Hi, I've been on Femcon FE for 2 weeks and have experienced very tender nipples as well as my sleep pattern has definitely been disturbed - I'm waking up more frequently and find it more difficult to get to sleep. I wonder if anyone else has experienced similar symptoms. Oh and a definitely feel a bit more 'blue' but wasn't sure if this may be related as well!

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.
