Anyone taken Ovcon 35? If so, how well did it work for you? I've been having wierd spotting for almost a year now. Dr told me he would put me on BCP to control this and this is what he prescribed. Just wanting some advise.

Has your doctor run all of the appropriate tests or is the pill his first course of action?

Well, he did do another PAP (I've been struggling with ASCUS results occasionally - but I am HPV negative), he did an endometrial biopsy (came back negative), a pregnancy test (negative), and a thyroid test (came back normal). Now he says if I have decided I do not want to get pregant (DH and I were trying to decide on #3 - I am 39 so I am running out of time), he will put me on BCP if I want to try and get rid of this annoying spotting.

I posted on the vulvodynia support also and you responded - I think I have this condition as well occasionally. From reading, I think that it was somewhat worse when I was on the pill. I also seemed to be very suseptible to yeast infections. Now I need to decide, which would I rather, spotting or irritation !!! Yahoo! What a tough decision !

What do you think? Did he run all the tests he should have or would you request something else?
