Hello. I am am going through some major hair loss. I started the pills three weeks ago and i can honestly say that I have lost more hair in the past couple of weeks than i have ever lost in my entire life. I am 22 and I have no family line of baldness. I was on YAZ and this never happened. I switched to FEMCON Fe because I had breakthrough bleeding. Now not only am I having an almost nervous break but my face is breaking out. Something that I never really experienced with YAZ. Can anyone tell me if the hair will grow back?
Thanks

I have been on Femcon since April and I have not had a period since taking the pill. I have had several pregnancy tests done, all coming back negative. No relief coming from my obgyn either. I was told to come back in another 2 months if i still don't start a cycle. Has anyone else lost or missed periods due to this pill? I just had a baby in January, but up until i took this pill, my periods were fine, even on the days i used to have them before getting pregnant? Any tips, or ideas?? I have also been throwing up and having sharp, not sore but, sharp stabbing pains in my left breast...which i told my doc about only to hear that it was related to not having a period!?!?!?!?!?! Help!!!

I am on day 2 of Femcon FE for an ovarian cyst that developed from the Clomid I took last month. I had a terrible headache yesterday and today I have pains in my lower right side (not the side with the cyst) and feel crampy. I am also very tired and irritable and have NO appetite. I am thinking of stopping the pill and just dealing with the cyst on my own. I am sure that I will have spotting now that I am going to stop!

Surprisingly i have been ok on this pill. i was on yasmin, then switched to yaz (which was the worst pill ever! i had my period for over 3 weeks on that pill). I've just started on Femcon, and it immediately stopped my breakthrough bleeding. the only side affect i think im experiencing is the headaches! i've been really stressed lately so i dont know if it has to do with that or the pill. also i have been REALLY tired a lot. i seem to wake up, do something then want to crawl back to bed for a few hours. anyone else get tired on this pill? other than that, the pill is actually working. now if we could just fix these headaches...

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!
