i looked in the archives and didn't see anything specific to this. if i am incorrect, i am sorry and would you be able to send me the link to the specific post?
anyway... i went to the ob/gyn last week and i asked to take birth control to regulate my period. also, my boyfriend and i will probably be having sex [at some point =)]. anyway, he prescribed me Ovcon-35. i have never heard of this birth control and do not know anyone that is on it. i looked it up online and it looked to me that it was very similar to ortho-novum, but i am not 100% sure. this is my first time ever taking birth control [actually, i haven't started it yet.] but if anyone is on ovcon or has taken it, please give me some feedback on your experiences. thanks!

Some can't find one that works no matter how hard they try (me)! Just monitor your own reaction to it, and make sure to ask your doctor about any concerns that arise in the first three months. Any concerns you have during that time will give important clues to what pill will work better if this one fails you.
