Anyone else have this?? This is my second month into the "new look" Ovcon-35. It's supposed to be the same as the old one, just a change in the colors. However, lately I've really been hungry, eating 4 or 5 times or more a day. This is not like me at all. I just can't seem to satisfy this hunger. I had this with the old Ovcon, but it was only for a month then it stopped. I wonder what's going on? :confused: BTW, I'm taking them correctly, so I'm not pregnant.

I don't think it's related to the new Ovcon. The pill in general might be increasing your appetite, as it's known to do that. But, I don't think the "new" Ovcon is to blame; it's just birth control in general.

But I haven't had this appetite increase since the third month, and then it only lasted for a short time and went back to normal. Now all of a sudden it's back? Why would this happen again when I've been on it for nine months?

I don't know. But if all that changed was the packaging/colors, and the hormones are the same, there's no way that it can be the "new" Ovcon. It's either something that would have happened anyway, or it's just psychosomatic (you're expecting a change, thus find one).
Something else in your life has to be blamed.

i didn't experience this....BUT...i had major complications right after starting this new pill. I had excessive bleeding, which i had not had while i was on the old look ovcon-35. i bled for 2 months straight until it got so bad i had to go to the ER. I had 7 cysts on my ovaries and free fluid in my uterus...so they put me on Ovcon-50 and i like it SO much better...but i have to go back to the 35 in 3 cycles :(

Wow, that's frightening. Did you experience any pain with the bleeding? It could be from the 'fillers' in it. You know, how the generics have the same active ingredients as the brands but different fillers so therefore people get different side effects from the generics? Maybe that's the case with this one even though it is still the brand.

I didn't have any discomfort with the bleeding. That's the weird part. And i'm only 18 (almost 19). It was just bad/dark bleeding, almost like molasses.

Yeah, my regular periods are like that on it.
