Rachel,
Reading about ovcon I ran accross your message and just wanted to ask a
few questions. My doctor put me on this because I needed hormones, not
for birth control, not that it doesnt help or anything. I have been on
ovcon35 for 3 months now. First two months I had my period the week
before I was suppost to start(light and constant) and it lasted two
weeks. So this month I started 2 weeks before I was suppost to
start(heavy and constant). And my emotions have been out of wack, and I
have felt bloated alot. Been trying to talk to my doctor about it but
he says stay on it for two more months. I am just tired of being on my
period all the time and having a week or two off. I feel like I am
always on my period. I dont feel my doctor has been helpful at all and
am currently changing doctors because of this. So here is my few
questions if you could possibly help:
1. How long were you taking it before you were at a regular cycle?
2. Did you have this problem with your period?
3. Did you notice your sex drive go up or down?
4. You have any side effects?
Any info would be great from someone who has been on it and had
expierence with it. Thank you for your time.
