Femcon FE and yeast infection

I took FemCon FE for seven days and experienced a lot of severe side effects which included diarrhea after I eat, foully smell in urine, itching and burning in vagina (like a yeast infection), hearburn, hot flashes, burning feeling in my heart and chest (not the same thing as hearburn), and terrifying anxiety symptoms that consisted of heart palpitations, heart flutters, shortness of breath, numbness in arms, dizziness, join pain, lump in throat, tight chest pains, and insomnia. The anxiety symptoms seemed to be worse at nighttime. I literally felt like I was going to have a heart attack and die. I stopped taking the pill three days ago and I do feel some better, but not completely back to normal yet. I did a lot of praying during this difficult time and God helped me get through it. I know I couldn't have made it without Him. The fear of dying was so intense that I thought my heart was literally going to stop. I almost passed out a few times which is also a scary feeling. My doctor put me on Femcom FE for my hormones, not for birth control, because I had a tubal back in 2002. I would rather put up with my crazy hormones then have the extreme anxiety attacks. The only good thing was my period didn't last as long and was lighter. Now that I have went off of FemCon, I started bleeding again like a normal period. I don't recommend Femcom FE for anyone.

I've been on the pill for a couple months without much of a problem. I initially started taking Femcon, along with an antibiotic (for acne) which caused me to contract a severe yeast infection. I then immediately stopped taking the antibiotic thinking that the problem would be solved. However, a couple months later new symptoms had arised. I found myself having painful cramps in the abdominal area, foul cloudly smelling urine, light brownish spotting, light white milky discharge, and slight itch/discomfort. I used an over the counter yeast infection kit on two separate occasions which seemed to be unresponsive. Are my symptoms normal or a possibility due to taking the Femcon? Does it sound like I have more of a UTI or a yeast infection? I don't have insurance so It's very difficult to run back and fourth to a doctor. Has anyone tried the over the counter yeast and UTI tests?

i have been on Femcon for 1 month, 3 weeks. this is my first experience with hormonal birth control. i am not very impressed. i got severe mood swings the first week, nausea, breast tenderness, loss of appetite, and i have been spotting so frequently that i have spent more time bleeding in the last two month than not. And to top it all off, i have persistent recurring yeast infections! i have never had a yeast infection before, 3 weeks ago i got one that was a pain to get rid of, and now i have another one! I'm gonna tough it out through the suggested 3 months of trial, but its not looking hopeful.

My daughter has just started taking Femcon FE. On the second day she took the pill she thought she was starting to get a urinary track infection. By the fourth day she had a pain in her lower back, vomiting feeling terrible. The doctor is saying the pill has noting to do with it. Has anyone else had these symptoms with this pill?

I have been taking Femcon for almost 2 months, I have decided to spot taking it. I have felt very tried, depressed, chest pain, my extremities tingle and I’m irritable. Also have felt nauseous, a lot of cramping, bloating and a very bad yeast infection. Even sores on my tongue which I have never had before. The only good things about this pill are that my sex drive has increased and I had a light regular period with no bleeding in-between for me.

Surprisingly i have been ok on this pill. i was on yasmin, then switched to yaz (which was the worst pill ever! i had my period for over 3 weeks on that pill). I've just started on Femcon, and it immediately stopped my breakthrough bleeding. the only side affect i think im experiencing is the headaches! i've been really stressed lately so i dont know if it has to do with that or the pill. also i have been REALLY tired a lot. i seem to wake up, do something then want to crawl back to bed for a few hours. anyone else get tired on this pill? other than that, the pill is actually working. now if we could just fix these headaches...
