 5  Prevent pregnancy mood stabilizer In the beginning nothing and now nothing.. Which is shocking because I get every side effect under the sun from every medication Started taking this because every other birth control made me into a basket case and made me break out, I started realizing.. this pill actually stabilized my mood after all these years of wild mood swings and crying and sometimes being down right awful to my s.o if I miss a few days I notice the next morning I feel off and have anxiety, I take my dose and after a day or two I feel totally level again... this medicine is improving my life in ways I never thought it could F 26 1 years

 5  Birth control and painful period Sensitive breasts. More emotional. High sex drive. Discharge is white. Increased hunger. Clearer skin. Hair grew faster. Light and painless period. Wonderful birth control when taken correctly. This is worth the try. Take it at night if you’re worried about side effects. Drink a lot of water prior and during to avoid water retention.

 5  Postmenopausal symptoms I have a disease called Empty Sella Syndrome & basically my Pituitary gland is flattened by an enlarged brain making my horomes non-existent & have no estrogen. I was miserable for a long time. They started me on Estrogen/progesterone tablets but it did nothing to increase my estrogen because it was not absorbing through my stomach due to my Gastroparesis, then they switched me to Estrogen injections/Progesterone tablets which increased my estrogen but after a month or so I ended up getting my period for 4 months straight & nothing was stopping it & if I missed my injections I would be miserable with mood swings, hot flashes, & exhaustion. Turned out this was because the injections were making my estrogen to high. I then started Junel Fe 24 & was able to stop the Injections/Progesterone & only have to take the Junel Fe 24. I have no more postmenopausal symptoms & my period only comes on the designated days. This medication changed my life for the better when nothing else was working! Changed my life for the better couldnt live without it! F 35 7 months

 5  Birth Control Due to having low iron, I was placed on this birth control. I've had to issues what so ever. When going through a health cleanse-ridding myself of all pills and vitamins, I experienced no harmful side effects. After about three years, I went back on the pill with no problems. F 10 years

 5  Prevent pregnancy Vaginal dryness has been my only side effect! Other than that I've been completely fine. No weight gain, instead I've lost weight. I also have acne and the birth control has not worsened it or made it better which I'm fine with. Highly recommend! F 20 2 months

 5  Contraception, skin Spotting on first month since switching from Ocella (high estrogen pill than Junel) I had mild weight loss (1-2#), no mood changes, improved blood pressure (vs Ocella - generic for Yasmin), and it improved the feeling of being hot that I had on Ocella. I did have spotting the first month when transitioning. Note: I have no existing mental health issues and generally tolerate most birth control pills well. F 43 30 days

 5  To improve my acne and regulate periods Improved acne and has made my periods lighter and regular. I started taking this bc my Paragard IUD has given me terrible acne and very heavy periods. But the IUD is a great birth control so I continue taking it. I started Junel 1 year ago and can now give an honest review of it. The first month was hell! I experienced a period the entire month along with cramps. I stuck with it though since I've read many reviews about your body taking time to adjust. After that initial hell, it's been great. My acne, which used to cover my whole face, is down to 1 blemish every now and then. My acne scars are going away and I don't even wear makeup anymore. My periods are very regular. I have my period the 3rd week of the pack, which is odd but it's consistent that way. Periods do usually last the whole week but they are not heavy anymore. All except for a few days I can get away with just wearing a panty liner. I did not gain much weight. Maybe 5 pounds but I'm a skinny person and look healthier now instead of "too skinny". One thing I have learned and cannot emphasize enough is for the love of God do not miss a pill. I have all alarm on my phone that goes off at the same time everyday and still managed to miss a pill. This has happened 3 times in the last year and it messes everything up. If you miss a pill, you will have a period for weeks. I keep mine in my purse now since my purse is everywhere I am. That way if I'm out at dinner when the alarm goes off I don't forget by time I get home. It's always with me. My alarm goes off at 6 pm F 32 1 years

 5  acne The first week was terrible, was nauseous like never before in my life and I have 2 kids! But when going on week 2 it went away and never came back! No other side effects for me and I definitely see my face clearing up after it breaking out like crazy for 3 weeks. So I would definitely recommend these BC pills. F 33 1 months
