Woah...I guess that kind of defeats the purpose og bc doesn't it?!! What did your doctor say???
Just a warning..i was on ovcon when i got prego with my son!!! I had never missed a pill, never taken it late and i was NOT on an antibiotic! lol, good luck!!! Oh, i didnt have any weight gain, just a few headaches now and then, but i dotn think that was from the ovcon.
I was on Ovcon 35 for the last 3 years of bcp but I never had any different side-effects than other bcp. I actually had more success with break-through bleeding on Ovcon 35 than previous bcp, but I've never been on Ortho-Tricyclin.
I was on Ovcon 35 and then Ovcon 50 for about 1 year. I didn't have any weight gain that I wouldn't normally get from any birth control pill. Ovcon did nothing different than Ortho Tri-Cyclen for me.
Side effects of all B/C pills are weight gain, some more than others and it depends on the person.
