"i have been on femcon fe for 3 years now. i was on yasmin previously for 6 months and experienced a 20lb weight gain, mood swings, acne, the works. i&#039;ve had no major side effects with femcon (i have noticed a slight decrease in my sex drive) but am starting to look elsewhere for the sheer reason that it costs me $50 a pack. if you can afford it and you&#039;ve had problems with pills like yasmin that most people agree with, i highly recommend femcon."
