For Polycystic Ovary Syndrome "6 months ago, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries. I was put on this upon diagnosis. Periods went from maybe 4 unbelievably heavy periods a year lasting about 8-12 days to completely regular periods, very light and lasting about 2-4 days. Honestly, haven't had any severe problems. The most obvious effect on me would have to be the sore breasts and enlargement. No acne other than the occasional pimple. Ultimately, I would recommend."

For Birth Control "I was on this birth control for about three months. The only positive thing I have to say about this pill is my breasts grew a little bit. That being said, I did not like this pill otherwise, it gave me bad cramps, my breasts were very sore, and for a while, I thought I was pregnant because of the side effects that I was having (I wasn't pregnant). The worst side effect, though, was my period. My period has always been normal and comes at the same time every month for about 5-6 days. This pill made my period come every other day for the three months I was on it, and when my period stayed, I would have it for about 10-14 days, which absolutely sucked. I have since switched birth control and will never take this again."

For Birth Control "I've been on the Necon 1/35 for almost 2 months now. I am definitely experiencing breast tenderness and enlargement. The tenderness is so bad right now I feel squeezed while wearing a bra, so I don't wear one while I'm at home. I have also been experiencing mood swings and crying spells. Dizziness occasionally too. I'm calling my doctor's office tomorrow because bigger breasts aren't worth all this!"

For Polycystic Ovary Syndrome "Just started week 2 of this bc. I can't really say if my issues are from this, I had the flu a week prior to starting and also during the first week. I'm 25 years old, 2 kids, and first time taking any kind of birth control. I self-diagnosed myself as having PCOS, and my gyn prescribed me Necon 1/35. So far, my symptoms, which could be from being sick or the birth control: dizziness, head gets foggy and vision slowed starting 20 minutes after taking the pill and lasting up to 6 hours afterward. Nausea, loss of appetite, food aversions, mood swings (also have been having some stress/life issues, along with being sick), breast tenderness, don't seem so bloated now, fatigue."
