I'm at the end of my first pack. And ever since i started the pill , I've had vaginal inching (yeast infection), increase acne (never really had acne before starting to take this), some spotting, paranoid ALOT, cry ALOT, feeling very depressed. This I had a different brand before and they both have stucked! Thinking of not even taking birth control and just sticking with condoms!

This is my first time using BC I am a 25 year old female and I finished the last pill yesterday 1/12/12. The following is my personal experience. I have not been feeling like myself lately and decided to look up Junels side effects and reviews. I am extremely glad I did because I thought something was wrong with me. I kept asking myself everyday what’s wrong with me lately. My mood has changed and I feel blah towards everything. My moods are like a roller coaster but mostly downer moods. I have migraines everyday and developed a yeast infection as well. I noticed my urine would be darker sometimes too. My boyfriend has even felt neglected and sexually deprived. Normally I have a high sex drive; that sign alone I knew something was wrong. Today is day 5 of NO sex. I have absolutely ZERO desire. It has decreased from sex from everyday (when I wasn’t on BC) to gradually decreasing to nothing. I don’t have the want or get turned on for sex and even have vaginal dryness. I have been told I lost weight but I beg to differ I feel I have gained weight. I had difficulty remembering to take the pill daily too. I’m glad other women have posted their experiences on Junel; I now understand I am not the only one feeling crazy on this pill! Before using Junel I was recently pregnant and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy but born stillborn on 11/13/12. I do not like the moods Junel makes you feel. I have enough emotions enduring the loss of my first born. Once my menstrual cycle started my doctor told me to start the pills on the 2nd day of my period. I do not recommend it and I will discontinue the use. Please discuss with your doctor thoroughly before taking this method of BC. -First and Last time User!

I have been on this BC pill for 2 months now. Ive taken it before and last time and this time the first month I have missed my period. Its very irregular and my face has broken out with acne and I have never had acne except when on my period. I'm always tired but I guess it's worth it when you aren't getting pregnant.

Too much break-thru bleeding while on Junel for me. Switched to Kariva and all's well.

Still constantly paranoid that I may be pregnant (due to breast tenderness) but overall, I have been pleased with this birth control. Taking a pill is always a pain but it is definitely the cheapest option. As far as side effects, I have noticed an increase in headaches but no weight gain or hair loss. My periods have been less severe but not shorter in duration.
