User Reviews for Femcon Fe

Femcon Fe (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone) for Birth Control: In the beginning I had severe headaches and spotting. Now I take the pill in the evenings and have not experienced any side effects.

Femcon Fe (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone) for Birth Control: I've been on 5 different birth control's, and this was the only one that my body accepted! No spotting after the 2nd month, period only lasts 3 days, it's really great. I just wish it was cheaper.

Femcon Fe (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone) for Birth Control: I started taking Femcon Fe when I was 18 and took it for 4 years. Within the first year, I gained 20 lbs that I could never lose. My weight would fluctuate by 10 pounds every month and around the time of my period I would have horrible bloating. It did make my periods very regular, short, and light and lessened the severity of my cramps. It also cleared up my skin. My doctor has just switched me to a birth control pill with a lower dose of estrogen after having a baby, to see if the weight gain issues go away.

Femcon Fe (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone) for Endometriosis: This medication worked really well for a while to control breakthrough bleeding and regulate my periods. I recently started to bleed irregularly and experience more serious cramping. I just found out that my endometriosis has advanced and I have been upgraded to Nortrel 1/35. I'll try that for a while to see if that will help me while I am awaiting hysterectomy.

Femcon Fe (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone) for Birth Control: This I had been on for like 6 months and had no problems with at all. No real side effects, no change in sex drive, nor mood. Period was regular, heavy but always 4 days and always on time. I'm thinking of going back on it. Ovcon is just as good.

Femcon Fe (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone) for Birth Control: I have been on Femcon FE for 3 years now. I was on Yasmin previously for 6 months and experienced a 20lb weight gain, mood swings, acne, the works. I've had no MAJOR side effects with Femcon (I have noticed a slight decrease in my sex drive) but am starting to look elsewhere for the sheer reason that it costs me $50 a pack. If you can afford it and you've had problems with pills like Yasmin that most people agree with, I highly recommend Femcon.
