| 1 | irregular | severe stomach cramping, vomiting, headaches, dizzy, loss of appetite | F | 17 | 10 days 1X day | 4/9/2015 | 1 | birth control | A yeast infection once a month for the past 4 months. This is ridiculous. Switching asap. | F | 22 | 10 months | 3/23/2015 | 1 | pregnancy prevention | depression, weight gain, no sex drive, crying every day | F | 20 | 7 months | 3/21/2015 | 4 | birth control, slow fibroid growth | Breakthrough bleeding during sex or intense physical activity the week after my period. Sometimes no period. | Worked well. I only got off it to take a different pill to control breakthrough bleeding. No weight gain, unusual breakouts or anything else problematic. | F | 29 | 2 years | 3/17/2015 | 1 | Heavy periods | Dizziness, vomititing, heavy long period, abdominal cramping, breasts hard as rocks | Horrible side effects. I was on this not to get my period. I bled heavily for 14+ days. Worse than my period. Scary. Would not recommend to anyone. | F | 40 | 1 months 1/20 | 2/21/2015 | 1 | Menstrual cramps | Longer period with birth control, more cramps as well | this pill is the most absolutely worst thing ever invented. I was put on it so it could make my period lighter and less painful. it seems to me that it does the exact opposite of what it's supposed to do. My period used to be 5-6 days now it's 7+ days. Like what the hell?! it is a little bit lighter but it's still heavy, and the pain is still there and it's still agonizing pain. and I gained weight on it even though my appetite has been low. This pill sucks, and I don't recommend it to anyone. I'm trying to change and it get a different pill. | F | 16 | 3 months not sure | 2/18/2015 | 1 | Birth control | Massive weight gain (20-30lbs). a lot of bleeding, cramps and bloating are no different compared to non-birth control periods. periods are not predictable and erratic. | I and my fiance noticed I was gaining A LOT of weight. I wondered why. My eating/exercise habits hadn't changed, sleeping is the same, i'm also on Adderall, (which makes you LOSE weight). I couldn't understand why. All of a sudden i've gained almost 30lbs in 6 months, then it hit me... it's this friggen pill!! I used to weigh 140-150, now i weigh 170-180!!! my fat (lazy day) jeans are tight on me!! this sucks!! Compared to other birth control I've been on, my periods with this one are worse, even worse than not being on the pill at all. It's not worth it to me. | F | 24 | 6 months 20 1X day | 2/15/2015 | 2 | heavy periods | Weight gain ...irregular and just as heavy periods. NO SEX DRIVE!! | F | 42 | 6 months | 2/11/2015 | 1 | Pharmacy ran out of Gildess | Severe cramps, mood swings, spotting/period mid month | Worst birth control pill I have ever tried. I cannot believe this is the same thing as gildess. I got my period mid month with the worst mood swings and cramping I have ever had. I cannot wait for this month to end so I can be back on gildess. | F | 24 | 1 months | 2/9/2015 | 3 | Prevent Pregnancy, Manage Periods | Negatives: continuous bleeding nausea cramping fatigue mood swings headaches bloating increased acne breakouts Positives: increased sex drive enlargement of breasts | I started taking this BC 3 weeks ago and the first two weeks I was sick to my stomach every morning when I took it. I was also experiencing headaches, fatigue, mood swings and I broke out pretty badly on my face and shoulders. This week I've felt a lot better. The acne started to clear, I'm less tired, my mood seems under control; and I would have no complaints but, I started bleeding again and not spotting but full on bleeding like a regular period. It's been 8 days now and I'm getting frustrated because I'm taking BC to make my periods more manageable (less bleeding/cramping, less days) and I've basically had two periods this month. In addition, I have mild (very mild) cramping every single day which is annoying. I'm planning on sticking it out another month or 2 to see if that makes a difference because my body may need time to adjust but if not I'm going to have to switch. I can't have two periods per month with no clue when they'll end. | F | 20 | 3 weeks 20 1X day | 2/1/2015 | 3 | Hormone imbalance | Breakouts around the jaw line. It has helped with bloating and moodiness. No breast pain anymore. Overall it has done more good than bad. | The only negative thing I can think of is absence of menstruation for almost 4 months. | F | 21 | 6 months 20 MG | 1/27/2015 | 2 | To help with my period | No side effects until a couple of months ago. I've been bleeding nonstop for a good month. Horrible headaches every day for 3 months now. Always exhausted but I'm not a busy person. | F | 18 | 1 years | 1/6/2015 | 1 | Been on it for a month and had a period for three weeks and counting with excessive mood swings and cramping and nausea going back to ortho tri cyclin low | F | 24 | 1 days | 12/25/2014 | 1 | Pregnancy prevention | Pelvic pain, migraines, bleeding gums, low sex drive, weight gain | I can't begin to describe how awful this month has been for me. I have never had headaches in my life and now have migraines 3-4 times a week. Ever since beginning the medication my gums bleed during the night. I am an emotional roller coaster, constantly crying. I am constantly hungry and I'm a person who has a very low appetite most of the time. Sex is very painful when I have never ever experienced this before and in general it has caused constant vaginal pain. This is my first and LAST pack of this awful stuff. Hormonal birth control is not the way to go. | F | 20 | 1 months | 12/11/2014 | 2 | birth control/acne | No sex drive, constantly on the verge of tears, foul smell down under | F | 20 | 2 months 1/120 1X day | 12/6/2014 | 2 | Heavy periods | Nausea, vomiting. | I've been on Junel Fe for quite some time. I had a period that lasted over a month and I needed to find a solution. I was put on Junel Fe. For the first two years on it, it worked amazing. This past year,however, I have had terrible nausea and vomiting. It always occurs at night after I've laid down for a while. No magic pill is worth making yourself sick over. | F | 18 | 3 years | 11/22/2014 | 4 | Birth Control/PMS Symptoms/Hormone | Nausea, acne, decreased libido | I was previously on OrthoTriCyclen for 5+ years but it no longer was controlling my cycle or PMS symptoms. I was suddenly bloating, cramping, and dealing with 7+ day periods. I was also wickedly crabby and had zero sex drive, so my doctor suggested switching to a monophasic pill (Junel) instead of a triphasic pill (orthoTriCyclen). It's only been one month, but already my PMS symptoms are noticeably different. Normally my family makes "jokes" about it being "hell week" or me being short tempered the week before my period, but this cycle went by without a single comment about my mood swings or temper - and I didn't feel irritable, either! My bloating, extreme fatigue, cramps, and mood swings are gone. This was not without a cost though as I was nausous after each pill for the first two weeks, my face (particularly chin and around my mouth) blew up with acne and I still have decreased libido. I'm going to continue to take this pill for a few more months to see if my body adjusts and the acne goes away. All in all, I am satisfied and realize that every pill affects each person differently. I also know it will take several months for my body to adjust to the different hormones. | F | 34 | 1 months 1X day | 11/17/2014 | 4 | Birth Control | At first my period lasted longer than a week. I was also very emotional and had breakouts on my chin and shoulder area. I was going to stop taking it, but then I noticed I was starting to feel like my normal self a few weeks into it. I'm on my second pack now and my period was light! I usually have heavy flows and have to take advil like candy. I say give it a few weeks for your body to adjust to the hormones. And the key thing that helps is I take it at nighttime. I notice it can make you sleepy so it helps me when I need to go to bed. | F | 32 | 1.5 months 1X day | 11/12/2014 | 1 | Birth control | Weight gain, lack of sex drive | Absolutely terrible. Worse birth control I've been on. | F | 26 | 3 months Fe 1/20 | 11/10/2014 | 1 | Excessive facial hair and acne cyst | The worst was that my period lasted 3wks. Extreme nausea. No appetite. Didn't help with acne or facial hair. Discontinued use after this post. | F | 35 | 3 weeks 1.5/30 mg | 10/27/2014 |
