Femcon FE and gallbladder

Some of you have been referencing severe upper abdominal pain, esp during the night, while on Femcon; this is likely gallstones, as that fits the description, and the pill increases your risk for gallstones because of the increased estrogen; talk to your doctor about this even if you have gone off of Femcon or hormonal b/c altogether. I have experienced this twice since starting Femcon several weeks ago. I am not a fan of hormonal contraception and experienced severe depression after 1 week on Mircette a number of years ago, and decided never to use it again. However, I am now considered at high risk for ovarian cancer which is why I am on Femcon, and my dr chose it knowing the history w/ depression on Mircette, and felt Femcon would be a good fit. Emotionally it has been a good fit, and i have had no problems in that respect- it really depends on how each person's body reacts to the specific progestin in whatever pill you are taking. However, digestive wise, I am not happy on Femcon, and will not be pleased if I have to have my gallbladder removed because of a month or two on it!

I was on Femcon for three months...THIS IS THE WORST DRUG EVER!!! No wonder my doctor just GAVE me 6 months worth of sample packets..I opted to just stop taking it....I bled three times a month anywhere from 3-7 days per time...you're Damn right this is birth control..I'm not getting any! I have had the Worst aches and pains all over my body arms legs back and stomach...so bad they sent me to have an ultrasound on my gallbladder...of course that wasn't it. Headaches and CHEST Pains
