Does anyone have any imput on Necon .5/35? I've been taking Sprintec and I can just tell it's not working with my body. I was on Ovcon 35 for about a year, and it worked well for me. It's .4 norethindrone/.035 ethinyl estradiol, and the Necon is .5 norethindrone/.035 ethinyl estradiol, so I'm thinking it will be better than the Sprintec.
Thanks!

If you liked Ovcon but aren't such a Sprintec fan, you may want to give the Necon a try!
The necon is the generic for the modicon. I figure they'll work pretty well, since they are so close in formulation to what the Ovcon was. I would have stayed on Ovcon, but it was $40/month thru the insurance!! Verus the $10/month I'll have to pay for the necon!
I know what you mean about the marketing though!
My periods have always been light but are now non-existent on this pill. I have not bled since November, but the doc has checked me out and said it's ok. FYI: For my first several months on it, I had light periods for one or two days every month, then every other month, now none.
Good luck with the .5/35. I have no experience with it but hope it is great for you.
Thanks so much for the info. Especially about the light periods because I'm the same way - only lasting 3 days at most.
