I found this website today and couldn't believe my eyes. Over the last month my daughter has been hospitalized twice, seen her OB, a gasterointerologist, had a CAT scan, vagina ultrasound, full blood work up and colonoscopy. No one found anything wrong with her. I never thought anything about the new pill she had been put on last month to better regulate her cycles. She has had severe abdominal cramping, breakthrough bleeding which we were told was normal till she got used to the new pill, nausea but still feels hungry, migraines, dizziness, blurred vision, 20 pound weight gain, acne which she never had before, red bumps which we thought was an allergic reaction to something and extreme fatigue. She had been feeling a bit better the last two weeks and we figured maybe she had had a bout of the flu. I dropped her off at college last Saturday and crossed my fingers. She called me today to tell me that it was starting again. I asked about her cycle thinking it might be PMS and she said that she had just started a new pack of pills. I did some searching and here was this website. I couldn't believe what I was reading. I immediately called the college infirmary and told her to stop taking Femcom immediately. I have forwarded this website to her so she can see that she wasn't crazy after all which was what all those doctors were starting to tell her. I wouldn't wish what my daughter went through this past month on anyone. DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG!!!!!

I'm 31 years old & started taking FEMCON FE for ovarian cysts detected on an ultrasound 10 days ago which my RE now tells me due to my hormonal profile which came back could have possibly been my ovaries in fact finally ovulating. Little too late. Within the 1st few days of taking it I did notice a "big" change in my attitude towards others, particularly my boss, hubby & kids. I am no longer the patient & loving one but an emotional, irritable wreck. I cry for no good reason, my hair is falling out & somehow everything that I or anyone else does is wrong wrong wrong. I have road rage which is something I have NEVER experienced & I've generally been a nasty person in which I've been fully aware & feel horrible about. Now I remember why I've always refused birth control to regulate my cycles. YESTERDAY was the last night Femcon will ever enter my body. Good luck to the rest of you!
