Ovcon-35

[cheerio_lv_1214]

Have any of you out there tried this pill? I am switching from Ortho Tri-Cyclen to Ovcon-35 next month b/c I have horrible cramps on my period as well as the first week of pills on Ortho Tri-Cyclen. Can any of y'all tell me if you liked this pill or not? It's hard to find out information on it on the web... I can't even find a website for it.

Thanks!

Hey, I've been on it going on 7 months. So far I've gained 7 lbs. due to a temporary (for only a month or two) increase in appetite. At the time, I wasn't supplementing with extra exercise to make up for it, so consequently, I gained weight. I'm now really busting my butt to get the weight off, hopefully I can now since the appetite increase is gone. I clean houses plus I work out 4 or 5 days/wk. If I can't get the weight off after this pack, I'm going to try switching to Kariva (generic for Mircette) and hopefully that will help. Please don't be discouraged from taking it (Ovcon-35), however, because everyone will react differently. In fact, this is my second time on this particular pill. The first time I didn't gain weight, my boobs just got bigger (C to D) no weight gain elsewhere either, it was nice. Unfortunately, after 4 months I had to stop taking it because it made me so depressed I couldn't stand it. This time, no depression just weight gain. I'd say give it a try, I say it's one of the better pills out there, there are others that are a whole lot worse. Sorry for the long post, just wanted to share my experience. Hope I helped.

Ovcon 35 is really the best birth control on the market today. It's a monophasic and the progestin that is in it has been around for more than 30 years. The reason why you can't find out about it is because some small pharmaceutical company owns it and they don't advertise.

You will really be happy with Ovcon!

Thank you guys very much for responding! I'm not too worried about the weight gain part. I have gained about 15-20 pounds in the past 6 months since I started Ortho Tri-Cyclen! I have actually been reading that when someone switches pills to Ovcon-35 they may actually lose weight! I'm keeping my fingers crossed. No matter how much exercise or dieting I do the weight won't come off, which is killing me because last year I LOST 20 pounds, then switched birth control. (bad idea haha) My doctor doesn't think Ortho is strong enough for me because I have horrible cramping for 2 weeks straight. I hope it helps! I have been reading and it sounds like one of the stronger types of hormonal birth control.

Thank You!
