| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR JUNEL FE 1.5/30 | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | Perimenopausal symptoms | Palpitations, anxiety, mood swings. Totally not me, I stopped taking. | F | 48 | 8 days 30 1X day | 10/13/2020 | 3 | Heavy periods | Weight gain, cramping, acne, vaginal dryness, low sex drive | My dosage was changed due to breakthrough bleeding on the 20mg. Since the change I have noticed despite whatever I do I gain weight and cannot lose it, a change in my mood, after 3 months I've hand no period but still have severe cramping, I thought I was loosing it until I found this feed! | F | 44 | 9 months 1.5/30 1X day | 9/27/2022 | 5 | Irregular Periods | Cramping and or diarrhea. Heavy clotting in the beginning, almost my entire cycle but has now lightened dramatically. | I have always suffered from irregular periods. Always! I have tried everything you can think of and nothing had ever worked. When I started this it immediately regulated my cycle. I did suffer from heavy clotting in the beginning but it has since subsided. I would rather deal with that for a couple of days then have my period for weeks at a time all the time. I'm thankful I found something that works for me. I wish I had found this earlier. I would definitely recommend this from my experiences. | F | 42 | 6 months 1.5/30 | 12/31/2019 | 2 | Junel FE 1.5/20 breakthru bleeding | I was put on this higher dose of Junel because I was having continuous bleeding with 1.5/20. I've been on this 1.5/30 dose for a full month and the bleeding not only continued but has gotten heavy - EVERYDAY FOR 30 DAYS! My doc wants me to give it another 60 days :( Does anyone else have this problem? Or did you? I would love to hear other comments about the same experience!! | F | 40 | 1 months | 10/6/2013 | 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 | 5 | PPMD, painful periods, depression | N/A | This pill has been wonderful. I used to dread my periods, not anymore. I no longer have painful cramps. I used to get severely depressed, super hungry, and couldn't sleep two weeks before my period. All of these symptoms have been reduced to maybe three days now. I know meds work differently for everyone. I've had a very positive experience with these pills. I feel like they saved my life! | 38 | 2 years 1.5/30 1X day | 8/12/2014 | 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 | 3 | Prevent Cysts that occur with ovula | The first 2-3 weeks of taking this pill were hell. I was irritable, angry, no sex drive, my breasts went up a cup size and were tender all the time, and other symptoms such as hemorroids and heartburn (which I'm not sure is related) | After one month of taking this pill, these symptoms went away completely. I got my libido back, my breasts are back to normal (boo) and i feel normal again. I guess you have to give this pill a month for your body to adjust. Any longer than a month I would've switched to another pill. | F | 35 | 2 months 1X day | 9/25/2012 | 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 | birth control | constant weakness, fatigue. i almost took a sick day one day after "only" 7 hours of sleep instead of the usual 8. no drive, no energy to do anything, always wake up tired. | that's the 2nd week of my 2nd month. will be moving to something else by the end of the pack. | F | 33 | 1.5 months 1X day | 6/10/2010 | 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 | 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 | Heavy Periods | Mood swings, tender breast, spotting, weight gain | They switched me from Gildess to this one around 5 months ago the only thing I noticed Right away was mood swings they are horrible! But now I'm noticing tender breast and spotting this has just been happening recently tho. It's making me think I need To run and get a pregnancy test cause this is weird for me. Anyone else done this?? | F | 30 | 5 months 30 MG | 6/19/2020 | 1 | Help with ovarian cysts | Lowered sex drive, anxiety, mood swings, severe vaginal dryness, nausea | I will NEVER recommend this birth control to anyone. The first month I didn't notice much of a change, second month my sex drive was way down, 3rd month I started having mood swings, 4th month I had severe vaginal dryness, irritation, inflammation at vaginal opening (even my cervix was inflamed) & started getting anxiety like I had never experienced before. I have been battling to find out what was going on with me for the last month with tests after tests coming back normal and finally realized it was this birth control. I also have a hard time eating and an even harder time when I'm nauseous (which is almost every day now) along with the anxiety. I wake up with anxiety and nausea now and have been for over a month. I'm down about 10 pounds and some days can hardly hold water down because of the nausea. It has impacted my life so severely I considered getting on anxiety medication because I felt like I was going crazy. No control over my mind or body. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BIRTH CONTROL. | F | 30 | 5 months 1.5/30 1X day | 7/9/2022 | 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 | 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 | 1 | Birth control | The only thing that could make this any worse was if I got pregnant. Heavier period, more cramping, borderline psychotic mood swings, anxiety, depression, no sex drive, no sleeping, shortness of breath. | F | 29 | 3 months 1.5/30 | 4/21/2017 | 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 | 2 | Regulate period | The first 2 years I was on Junel were great. Then I started to have some vaginal dryness. Didn't know how bad it was until I went for a gyno visit and the exam was extremely uncomfortable due to how dry I was down there. I've been having on and off yeast infections since February 2020 and I've had enough of it. I also notice that my mood swings are rough the week before. | This did help regulate my periods and made them lighter. I had very heavy periods and severe cramps before taking. I'm going to go off of it completely for now to see if I can reset my system and get back to normal levels before exploring a different BC option. | F | 27 | 4 years | 5/28/2020 |
