| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR JUNEL FE 1/20 | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 4 | Birth Control | Small weight gain. Occasional sore breasts. Would often not have periods. | The no periods really freaked me out at first but I grew to enjoy the no or very tiny spot of blood. This was pretty good but I wish it had helped me with my mood swings and I totally would still be on it. | F | 23 | 6 months | 9/13/2009 | 4 | prevent pregnancy | larger breasts, increased sex drive, lighter period, reduced metabolic weight/weight gain (20 lbs in a year., where I have never been this large before), nausea first 5 days | First Birth Control I took, so I cannot compare with any other types | F | 19 | 13 months 1X day | 4/15/2013 | 4 | Birth control | Lots of tiny acne groups. Nothing overwhelming though. My boobs are starting to grow already. My emotions/weight/vaginal sensitivity are all normal. Nothing really has changed except the acne is a little annoying. | F | 18 | 9 days | 10/19/2012 | 4 | Period Regulation | I have breast tenderness and at first had some weight gain, although I soon lost it. | I have been taking it for about a year with minimal problems. I started taking it because I would get extremely sick when I started my period (cramps, dizziness, profuse sweating, weak, throwing up). Now I am finding that I no longer have a sex drive and am continuously spotting. I still think that this is a great birth control; however, I'm going to try something a little stronger in hopes that it will smooth out the newly arisen side effects. | F | 19 | 1 years 1X day | 5/22/2011 | 4 | Pregnancy prevention | I had breakthrough bleeding like period my first month and some light bleeding the past few. Nauseous after everything I eat. My boobs were sore for the first month. | To be honest, I'm not really concerned about the side effects, just the fact that I won't get pregnant and it's done it's job so far. | F | 15 | 5 months 1X day | 7/14/2022 | 4 | Birth Control and to help w/ period | I was very emotional during the first couple days I started (during my period), but after that I have had no issues so far. It did help me with my period a bit because my period was lighter than usual. Overall, my experience hasn't been too bad so far. | F | 20 | 11 days 1X day | 10/28/2020 | 4 | Heavy periods | I spotted about 3 weeks while starting the pills. After that I didn't get my period. I'm a little worried about that but other than that the pills have works fine for me. | F | 20 | 35 days 1X day | 11/6/2020 | 4 | fibroids,heavy painful,severe mood | Nausea, cramping,weight gain | I started 5/22 I started having less pain from my fibroids after 5 days. I missed my period on 5/28. I have less nausea still have cramping don't need to take Advil. Weight gain,bloating definitely. No mood swings I feel normal again, no anxiety, no migraines yet. Overall, I would recommend. Im due for my period next week I really hope it's controlled usually I go threw plus tampons and plus pads within the hour. I have to get up at night to change pads.

Hope this helps. | F | 42 | 2 weeks 20mg | 6/6/2017 | 4 | Prevent Pregnancy / Better Period | At first i experienced Nausea, spotting , but it all went away in the first 2 months of taking it. I experience alot Of migraines, mood swings , WEIGHT GAIN. | F | 19 | 7 months | 7/8/2019 | 3 | Contraception | I have been thinking that something is seriously wrong with me until I read the many comments of the other women that have been through hell with this pill. I have experienced everything under the sun from nausea everyday to having complete meltdowns for no reason. The depression and anxiety have been worse these past few months. Recently, I have been dealing with anger issues that completely take over me. I feel like I could snap at any minute and I knew this something that had to do with my hormones being out of control. I have also had troubles with low sex drive and vaginal dryness. Somedays I wake up very sad like something is wrong for no reason. I am seeing my doctor ASAP after reading all the comments that sound like story. | F | 21 | 2 years | 12/7/2019 | 3 | To not get pregnant | Cramping... Been 5 days straight now | I started taking this BC in march. Got my period in April (which would last 5 days). But in April, had period for 3 days, on the 4th day. NO PERIOD. On 5th day it came back. Then spotting on the 6th day... Now we are in May. Today is May 28 & today makes 5 days straight that I've had cramps & STILL NO PERIOD.(which was to come around may 8th)... I'd like to know if anyone else had this problem, & how long the cramping last or did it ever stop?? | F | 30 | 2 months Idk | 5/28/2017 | 3 | Menopause, hot flashes | I just started yesterday, I was taking another birth control very low dose 1 mg for hot flashes the other pill worked for about 9 months then my hot flashes started again, so my Dr prescribed Junel FE 1/20. I started yesterday had ANXIETY really bad all night , and today I took my second pill and gave a headache and anxiety starting again. I think it's helping my hot flashes , but I don't want the anxiety. | F | 48 | 2 days 20 1X day | 11/13/2020 | 3 | Prevent Pregnancy | Nausea Headache Crying at the drop of a hat and persistent heart palpitations with the sensation of not being able to catch my breath. | F | 33 | 30 days 1MG-20 MCG | 4/9/2020 | 3 | reduce cramp pain | heart palpitations, intense cramping , heavy bleeding , | do not take it | F | 18 | 2 months | 5/1/2020 | 3 | Acne and irregular cycles | WEIGHT GAIN and NO CYCLES | F | 40 | 11 months 24 | 5/18/2020 | 3 | Preventing Pregnancy | I have never felt so much pain in my vagina in my life. During sex, while peeing, wearing jean shorts. Literally ANYTHING! It's like I had a constant yeast infection. The doctor prescribed me for medication after my third time of having a period with the burning and itching, now I'm getting off because I'm on my 4 or 5th period wanting to die of pain. | For the most part though, It helped my acne, my boobs got bigger but not too much, they were constantly swollen though. I didn't gain much weight. My sex drive was going down though. I would recommend this pill If I didn't have the constant itching and burning. | F | 17 | 3 months | 6/9/2020 | 3 | prevent pregnancy | spotting & BV | I'm just starting out my third pack & ive gotten BV twice already... first time during my first pack & i got it again and it's barely the third month. other then that everything else is fine. my hair grew out a lot, my skin cleared up & i haven't gained any weight | F | 19 | 3 months 20 1X day | 1/20/2021 | 3 | period management | very sore breasts and nipples, nausea, mood swings, frequent headaches | it lightened my periods a lot and i do not cramp as much but it seems as if one symptom just gets replaced with another. | F | 17 | 6 months 1X day | 3/28/2023 | 3 | Prevent pregnancy | No weight change, cleared skin, harder to get wet, yeast infections almost every month, very regular and lighter period | I have never had a pregnancy scare, my skin has improved, and I can predict my period to the hour. HOWEVER, my sex drive seems to be lower and I have chronic yeast infections now. I never had a yeast infection in my life before this pill and I've had more than 10 in the past 2 years that I've been on it. As much as this birth control has been beneficial, the yeast infections are driving me absolutely insane and I'm finally switching pills tomorrow | F | 22 | 2 years 1X day | 9/20/2020 | 3 | Hot Flashes | It started off pretty good. It helped with the "hot flashes" and my menstrual was good for the first 3 months but now I have a lot of spotting, one day no spotting next day spotting or one day heavy menstrual . It's everywhere. I'm always wearing a panty liner because I never know when I will stop bleeding. | F | 0 days 15 1X day | 2/7/2024 |
