I had a bad reaction to Ovcon 35--severe water retention that caused my weight to go up 20 lb. in 1 month (I'm not kidding). My feet and legs and knees were so swollen it hurt to even clean house. It was almost all water weight though this pill made me ravenous as well. I'm almost 8 months off it, my hormones are still imbalanced but my water retention is much better, and I've lost 12 lb. now. On other pills, I didn't notice a weight change.
