>>hi there terese, i am having the same problems and my doctor says that i am just having break-through bleeding which is ridiculous because i have been on these things for like 6 months now. it is getting worse ever month. have u gotten any relief from your bleeding everyday because i need some help too!!! thanks

Sorry to hear about what you guys are going through! I just started Ovcon 35 yesterday. I have a headache, nausea and chills. So, this stuff doesn't go away? Good thing is that the burning in my back and pelvic area is about 50% less than before, just with 2 days. Not looking foward to breakthru bleeding though.
