| 3 | Birth control, hormonal fluctuation | I've was on junel about 3 years ago and was satisfied with it completely. I went off it and got horrible hormonal acne and I'm 28, eat organic, non GMO, etc! My hormone levels were spiking and I had too much testosterone in me. My doctor put me back on junel and upped my dose to higher estrogen and progestin to see if it helps. My boobs have become plumper and tender, I am extremely bloated to where my pants barely button and my scale says I've gained about 5 pounds in a month. I'm gonna give it another 2 months because I've heard these symptoms lessen. Also, my sex drive has not dipped, if anything, it's increased. I was depressed for the first week and a half but now I feel great. I put somewhat satisfied because I happy about everything so far, just angry about he bloating. | F | 28 | 1 days | 3/14/2014 | 5 | bled for 26 days on mononessa | I have experienced decreased appetite which makes me happy considering I was nervous about the fuss of weight gain. Also, been in a pretty good mood. Haven't noticed it changing that. As well as my sex drive has increased. Great pill so far, hoping I don't jinx myself ;) but hormones work different on everyone just depends on your body. however I recommend it if you were desperate like I was to stop the crazy non stop bleeding. | F | 19 | 3 days | 9/26/2017 | 2 | Irregular periods | Third night began having panic attacks. I already have pre existing depression and anxiety so I'm thinking the pill is making it worse. Also insomnia. I could not sleep. Stood up all night. I will try one more night and see how it goes. | F | 37 | 3 days 1X day | 8/27/2020 | 1 | To regulate my period | Bloating, cramping, severe anxiety, depression. Made me feel like I was going crazy. | 35 | 4 days | 7/26/2019 | 2 | To prevent pregnancy | Started with headaches an stomach cramps. Than my appetite was crazy and I never eat. Bout the 5th day I got a horrible rash on my cheek and stomach. Wouldnt recommend | F | 23 | 6 days 1.5 | 11/20/2017 | 4 | Heavy cycle | F | 39 | 7 days 30 | 12/8/2019 | 2 | Regulate period for IVF | Extreme exhaustion, strong cramping beyond normal first day cramps, heavier bleeding than normal. | F | 39 | 7 days 30mg | 1/29/2020 | 1 | Perimenopausal symptoms | Palpitations, anxiety, mood swings. Totally not me, I stopped taking. | F | 48 | 8 days 30 1X day | 10/13/2020 | 5 | Endometriosis | Less cravings, less hungry , less sleep. | I love this bc. I was on junel fe before this dosage and then I started bleeding through the lower dose, typical endo. I have struggled to lose weight on almost all bc but this one I seem to be able to control my cravings and food intake. Other BC's I was always hungry and couldn't control my intake now I've lost 10 pounds and sleep way less, I'm bot sure to be annoyed or okay with it s iij nce most of the time I really struggled with my fatigue and exhaustion. I still have endo pain unfortunately but I recommend this bc. It's easier than most and less side effects in my opinion. The trick tho is definitely to. And make sure you are drinking the right amount of water if I don't that's when my bc effects my moods and all.. | 26 | 28 days 1.5 | 6/12/2020 | 2 | To regulate period | Very bad cramps and light periods which lasted longer than my normal cycle | F | 29 | 40 days 1.5/30 | 10/10/2017 | 4 | Suppose to be similar to gildess | Bad back acne and a little nausea. | I was on Glidess for the longest time, then it got recalled and after that I've been on 4 different birth controls and I seriously had to stop taking birth control cause I couldn't find anything. But I went on Nurx and they suggested junel 1.5/30 and I tried junel 1/20 so I was scared I was gonna have the same side effects but luckily I've been loving junel 1.5/30, i like the fact i dont have to take pills for a week and my period comes immediately. I'm not moody not as hungry my sex drive is still the same, but my acne on my back hurts so bad and I'm giving it more time to even out. But other then that I'm actually enjoying this birth control. | F | 22 | 48 days | 9/17/2017 | 1 | Prevent pregnancy | I've been having severe anxiety since I started taking this BC. At first I thought my anxiety and increase mood swings were related to stress due to COVID-19 since I'm an essential personnel however I'm now convinced it's due to this BC. I'm normally very bubbly and full of energy however I've found myself depressed, anxious, increased headaches, irritable, moody, decreased energy, sleeping problem, | This should be taken off the market with as many bad reviews as it has. I will be discontinuing effective tomorrow... and will probably remain off for a while | F | 27 | 0 weeks 1.5/ 30mg 1X day | 7/23/2020 | 1 | hormone regulation | Started on Junel as substitution for Gildess and it was okay until I started bleeding again. The medication no longer has any effect on me. I currently have a heavy flow that has lasted for the past week and a half, and moderate cramping. Hoping to return to Gildess or Microgestin Fe very soon--at least they have worked consistently in the past. | F | 25 | 2 weeks 1X day | 12/1/2015 | 4 | Birth control | Weight gain | Increased appetite so I am hungry all the time. Also, I have gained about 3 lbs since I started this pill three weeks ago. Everything else is perfect! | F | 30 | 3 weeks | 5/17/2015 | 3 | Regulate cycle | When I started Junel I experienced headaches, nausea, and hunger. When I ate I got extremely sick but I was still hungry. My cycle came on my second week into the pulls now my cycle has been in 11 days and won't leave and I'm finished with the pack and can't take no more for 7 days I'm on the the 21 day pack. | F | 24 | 3 weeks 20 | 8/11/2015 | 1 | I've been on it 3 weeks with pains | I started this only bc my doc told me told after having my period for 3 weeks. I've been on junel for 3 weeks now . Bad headaches vision problems pain in abominal area and now three days with severe pain behind my rib where my gull bladdr is. I've been to the er 2 times now did catscan and ultrasound and said nothing was wrong. I stopped taking the junel two days ago . I've been bleeding very heavy since I started it. Had anyone else had these problems ??? | F | 30 | 3 weeks Low | 5/29/2014 | 3 | Preventing pregnancy | I get really really bad cramps on the first two days of my period which is not normal for me, my period used to last five days now it last three or four. I do get really bad tender breast even when Im not close to my period I still dont know if thats normal to anyone else whos taking this. | Is it normal for my breasts to be tender when Im not close to my period? Is this a normal side effect | F | 18 | 4 weeks | 5/4/2020 | 1 | Yes | I had really bad lower abdominal cramps, heavy bleeding & A LOT of clots. My period also has lasted a lot longer. I got this from a pharmacy and Junel was supposed to be the same as Microgestin 1/20. It was definitely not! I went back to the place where I got Microgestin and after a day of taking it, I already feel better after weeks feeling like crap. | F | 32 | 4 weeks 1/20 | 5/31/2014 | 3 | Birth Control | Breast have gone up a cup size but now they are always tender. My acne has seem to flair up. No weight gain | F | 16 | 1 months 30 mg 1X day | 2/23/2013 | 3 | Stop prolong bleeding & pregnancy | I got prescribed Junel Fe 1.5/30 to stop my prolong bleeding from the depo shot that I only took one dose of. I began bleeding February 4th up until April 22. My doctor had me take two pills a day for a week to stop the bleeding which it did. And from then I took one pill a day. I got my period again may 2 and bled until May 8th and have been spotting on and off, then I got my period again may 16th... I thought that this pill was supposed to make your periods lighter and shorter. Cramping isn’t horrible. I don’t breakout I never do. Doesn’t mess with my mood or anything. It just sucks because my sex life has been ruined from the shot and i thought that this pill would make the whole bleeding stop. Ive only been on it for a month so I’ll give it some time... | F | 19 | 1 months | 5/18/2019 |
