Femcon FE and low sex drive

low sex drive. anyone experiencing that ?

I was horrified to start femcon fe after reading all these blogs, but I decided to try it anyways with the hope that my experience would be different...and it has been so far. I was taking Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for over four years and was always suffering immense Nausea ,low sex drive and extreme irritability. My nausea ceased overnight after taking femcon, I am no longer moody, my husband has noticed an increase in my sex drive and attitude.Lets just wait to see where this will go...

I started FEMCON FE about 3 weeks ago because I had been bleeding heavy for 6 straight weeks. My doctor pulled me from my previous birth control, Ortho Tri-Cyclen and put me on FEMCON to stop the bleeding. Surely enough 3 days later it stopped, however, I have experienced headaches, dizziness, a lack of appetite, fatigue and a very low sex drive over these last 3 weeks. Not to mention, I had breakthrough bleeding this week for 3 days. I am going to continue taking these for another month and report back, but right now, I am not too content with this birth control.

I have been taking femcon fe for about a month. A week before i was supposed to start taking my brown inactive pills, i passed out and had what they call convulsive syncope. I had an EEG and MRI done to rule out a seizure. Both came back normal. I have experienced anxiety,passing out, muscle twitching, nausea, headaches, a bad taste in my mouth, low sex drive, dizziness, stomach pains, fear and fatigue. I did not have any of these side effects before I started taking Femcon FE. I am going to continue taking another month of this pill to see if the side effects are still there. I just wanted to let everyone know what i have experienced in case someone else has had the same thing happen to them.

I started taking Femcon FE about 4 months ago. I haven't had a good nights sleep since. Other side effects I have suffered from are nausea (after taking the pill no matter what time of day/night), headaches/migraines, VERY low sex drive!!, insomnia, increased appetite!! especially for sweets, extreme fatigue and severe mood swings. I have however, experienced no break through bleeding and have had a very regular period, 28 days to be exact. I love that about the pill but the side effects for me are enough for me to stop taking this pill. My husband mentioned that maybe this pill was causing my insomnia and after doing some research and reading other comments here I feel that it is this pill. So....thanks to all who post here. You have helped me greatly! Now maybe I can get some much needed sleep.....zzzzzzzz....zzzzzzzzz AND SEX!!!! :)
