Femcon FE and yeast infections

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.

This pill is the worst....I am on my second pack, and I keep on having light spotting and I keep on getting yeast infections. The infection will clear up when i start taking the brown pills and it will come back 2-3 days after I start taking the white pills again..I know birth control will give you more yeast infections, but this is ridiculous!!!!!!!...I am bloated and swollen..my breasts are very tender, and I cant seem to go to sleep!!!!!!!! Im going to ask the doctor for another pill. I was on Ortho-Tri-Cyclen for 7 years, and had to stop because my insurance stopped covering it. These pills are much cheaper, and the doctor said they were great. I AM GOING TO GET ANOTHER PILL!! THANK GOD FOR THIS WEBSITE!

I have been on this pill for four months. It has been an experience. If you miss one pill you will bleed for the rest of the pack and then get you period again. I have had multiple yeast infections since I started taking this pill. Some say this is due to the sugar component in the pill that gives it the minty flavor. I get headaches all the time and severe mood swings.Recently I started clotting from the pills. I don't know what that was all about. I started this pill because I needed a higher dosage but it is too sensitive and I could do without the yeast infections. Also, my dermatologist stated that it has an ingredient in it that causes acne. My acne has been minimal. It is not nearly as bad as it was when I was on other pills. I am switcing to Ortho-tricyclen regular because the lo makes me spot. I hope I have better success
