| 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 | 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 | Birth control | Constant fatigue, nausea, bloating, breasts are super swollen and nipples are extremely painful, headaches daily, horrible night sweats, NO sex drive, insomnia, spotting throughout entire 2nd month, and 10-lb weight gain in less than two months. | F | 36 | 2 months 1/20 | 8/7/2014 | 2 | birth control | Cramps, depression, Extremely hungry. Craving dark sodas and sweet Tea along with fried foods. I've NEVER eaten these things so much in my entire life. No sex drive, leg pain, constant headaches and fatigue. Foul smelling discharge with blood clots before and after period. Morning sickness the entire first month and night sweats. | F | 24 | 2 months 1 daily | 8/11/2014 | 2 | Ovarian Cysts,Pregnancy Prevention | Rectal bleeding, vomiting, nausea, migraines, missed periods, chest pains, numbness in arms, increase in vaginal fluids, acne, stomach discomfort. | I have been on many different forms of birth control (Trivora, Enpresse, and Generess Fe). This one has been the worst. I had to switch from Generess Fe to Junel Fe for financial purposes; 1 month of Generess went from $25 per month the first year to $60 this year. I loved Generess Fe; no side effects (especially no nausea) and no additional weight gain! This pill is horrible! I have been experiencing some of the side effects listed as severe and "rare". I am constantly uncomfortable, I am always experiencing chest pain..to the point where I feel as if my chest will explode, I have been vomiting since 7:30 last night, my period has not come this month - whereas last month it was extremely heavy and long. My vagina is secreting way more fluids than normal; very uncomfortable, I have to wear a panty-liner every day now. Although I have experienced severe migraines since the age of 13 they have been increasingly worse. I was recently heavily bleeding from my rectum for about a week straight (it was as if my period was coming out of the wrong orifice). Overall, I am extremely dissatisfied with this product and I DO NOT RECOMMEND any one to use this - although it is a cheap pill ($25) it is not worth the side effects ladies. TRUST ME! Look for other equally priced pills, and complain to your OB GYN so that he/she may not prescribe this to other women. Feel free to message me if you are experiencing the same side effects and need support! I plan on switching to | F | 22 | 2 months 20 MCG 1X day | 4/23/2014 | 2 | Prevent pregnancy | The fatigue and nausea are the worst. I literally lay in bed hoping I don't vomit. No sex drive, depression, and headaches. Don't take this if you don't have to. | F | 18 | 3 weeks | 2/13/2014 | 2 | Endometriosis | First week was fine. It was used to control my endo pain. It was working fine until my heart started skipping beats and my chest was heavy and in pain felt like I was going to have a heart attack. Arms hurt. u need to get off it once you feel this way just stopped today after only 2 weeks I don't care what my doctor says I'm scared to stay on it don't take this drug | F | 21 | 2 weeks 1/day | 2/9/2014 | 2 | Regulate periods, prevent pregnancy | I started taking Microgestin at the age of 15 ½. I’m 18 now and last year around March my insurance switched me to Junel. Sometimes I get my normal Microgestin again, but rarely. The thing is I don’t remember being bloated for a whole month and my acne running wild when I was on Microgestin. Lately its been really bugging me. Yes its normal to break out before your period and get bloated but I don’t. My face clears and I get thinner in the waist. Then when my period is over and I get uncomfortably bloated and my acne gets very bad, not only on my face but everywhere, especially on my thighs. And this lasts till my next period. I don’t know if its from switching to Microgestin to Junel. I do know they are pretty much the same thing. I have the lowest dosage of birth control. When I started taking birth control my breast size went up a cup, which is fine. My acne slowly started to clear up and I didn’t gain any weight except in the breasts. | F | 18 | 3 years 1X day | 1/26/2014 | 2 | cramping regulate period | I used this to help my cramping but I still get them not as badly like before but still very annoying and instead of cramping through my stomach I get it in my vagina. Like someone is pulling on it hard. It gets me dizzy at times and my period didn't come for a month but I'm not as heavy and WHEN I SPOT IT NEVER ENDS!! My boobs got bigger I'm bloated and appetite changed, I want to eat more. But one good thing is that it is helping my acne | F | 18 | 2 months | 3/1/2014 | 2 | Period & Birth control | Weight gain (about 6 lbs), no changes in period, DEPRESSION. | F | 15 | 4 months | 1/8/2013 | 2 | Menstrual regularity | Enlarged and tender breasts, weight gain, acne, irregular periods, rashes, and wake up with swollen face. I didn't have these problems before. My doctor said to wait 6 months! | F | 35 | 2 months | 12/7/2011 | 2 | Prevent Pregnancy. | Always tired, breast tenderness, no sex drive whatsoever, nausea... Awful pill all around. | F | 18 | 3 weeks 20 mg | 8/8/2013 | 2 | heavy period | 15lbs weight gain bloating, mood swings, long periods. Feeling depressed | F | 30 | 6 months | 8/4/2013 | 2 | birth control | I have experienced an increase in appetite. I would like to know if this happen to anyone? I crave food every two hours. I was on Loestrin 24 Fe for two years, and I loved it. No side effects or anything. I switched because loestrin was $24 and Junel is free for me. | F | 18 | 5 days 1X day | 3/7/2012 | 2 | prevent pregnancy | spotting, nausea, bloating, breast/nipple tingling and tenderness, acne | I began Junel-Fe because Loestrin 24 was giving me erratic periods. That was the only side effect though. Junel-fe, in comparison, gives me way more side effects. I do get my period as expected with it which is the only thing I like about it. The first month took Junel-Fe, I actually thought I pregnant because it felt like it! I think my breasts were even more tender than when I truly was pregnant. They tingled like when I breastfed...weird. Now, that I have been on it 3 months, I notice that I have acne worse than I've ever had it. It is the the kind that is a bunch of bumps grouped togetherIt isn't the big kind of pimples, but it still bothers me. Going to ask doctor to switch again. Not happy with it. i have been on several kinds of bc before and never had breakouts this bad. | F | 30 | 3 months 1/20 1X day | 5/23/2012 | 2 | BC, Acne | I'm experiencing bloating, mood swings, foul odor, lower pains, tenderness in my breast, makes me sick to my stomach and I'm spotting for nothing. I hate this pill, it clears up my acne but its painful to have sex. I'm off of this pill aidos Junel Fe. Guess I gotta start rapping it up with my man. | F | 18 | 3 weeks 1/20 | 8/14/2013 | 2 | To prevent getting pregnant | Had absolutely no sex drive while taking this and my boobs were constantly sore. | F | 23 | 45 days 1X day | 10/5/2023 | 2 | Birth control | Bad yeast infection, nausea and stomach upset | F | 28 | 20 days 1X day | 8/26/2022 | 2 | Prevent pregnancy and heavy period | I feel like I am the only one that has had weight gain with this pill but I have gained almost 30 pounds. I have a low sex drive, can't get wet as usual, always tired . | When I first started taking it I bled for 2 weeks straight. | F | 19 | 6 months 2 1X day | 2/4/2021 | 2 | Prevent pregnancy | First month was ok. Started period as soon as it was time for the brown pills. Bled the entire 7 days, ended on a monday but felt pressure like feeling in my abdomen. By Saturday I was having extreme abdominal pain and sweating and started bleeding again. Bled another 7 1/2 days... ended this past Sunday but still have continuous cramping/abdominal pain and unusual sweating/hot flashes. Moods are blah. Acne is not any better. Just want to stay in bed all day. | I was on Mirena 10 years (2 IUDs), then Depo for 2 years and never had a problem with them. Junel has to be one of, if not THE WORST, birth control I have ever taken. I will advise anyone I know against it. | F | 33 | 2 months 1X day | 5/11/2021 |
