I've been on Ovcon since Sept. 2002. I have no trouble with it at all now. The first month I was on it I started my period while on the third week of active pills, but the next month everything was straightened out. Other than that, its been good! Good luck!

I have been on Ovcon 35 for 5 months now, and it has been ok as far as side effects, I haven't had psycho mood swings or nausea, but I have been af for the 2nd and 3rd weeks and sometimes the 1st wk too, but I wouldn't give my experience much credit because my pcos symptoms seem to be the opposite of everyone elses. I constantly af, instead of not getting it. So if anyone knows something good to make you NOT af, I would love to hear about it.

I tried Ovcon earlier this year, and the mood swings I had were frightening. I only stayed on a month because I was extremely depressed the entire time except for the week of my period when I was so angry at everything and everyone. I was intolerable to be around, nor did I want anyone else around. At the end of the month, I knew I couldn't stand it any longer, so I stopped taking them.

At least that was my experience with it. I really hope yours turns out to be a lot better. Good luck!

I was Ovcon for about a year and had no probs at all. In fact, my doctor put me on this one in particular b/c I have struggled with depression in the past and she said this one is often given to women with mood disorders b/c it doesn't seem to cause too many probs in that category. Obviously everyone reacts differently though! It took a month's cycle to get used to it, but after that, it was great!
