I have been taking Junel FE 1.5/30 for four months now and my experience has been positive so far. I have been sexually active throughout the four months that I have been using it and it has worked for me (no pregnancy). It's so convenient once you get into the routine of taking it everyday.

I have been sexually active throughout the four months that I have been using it and it has worked for me (no pregnancy). It's so convenient once you get into the routine of taking it everyday. I take the pill in a very timely manner (I take it at 7:45am every day without fail) and I have not experienced any side effects as far as I can tell. At first I thought it might be making me bloated, but I realized I was gaining weight from overeating in college. Now that I have graduated and I am eating less, I have noticed some weight loss. So I don't think I have any kind of negative side effects. And after using it for four months and having good results, I just wanted to give it a good review :)

I switched from Kariva to this after Kariva got discontinued. I'm on my third month of this pill & it has done nothing for me.. My acne got worse and I've gained weight. This month, my period came before the end of the pack.. which was annoying, yet I've still had the usual cramps & migraines since then and I'm on the sugar pill week. I have one more month of these pills and then I will de ... Show Full Comment

I have one more month of these pills and then I will definitely be switching.

I was a bit concerned when I switched to this at first. I'm sure all of these negative reviews would make anyone uneasy. Anyway, I just finished my first pack on junel. So far, short periods, lighter periods, and no cramping. I did notice breast tenderness when I first switched. I also noticed a slight increase in appetite and maybe even put on a couple pounds.

So far, short periods, lighter periods, and no cramping. I did notice breast tenderness when I first switched. I also noticed a slight increase in appetite and maybe even put on a couple pounds. I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford some weight. However, I really didn't want those extra pounds so I would say that the slight weight gain is my worst side effect. I've also been a bit more emotional but that hasn't really affected me much. Overall, a pretty good pill. We'll see what happens in a few months with this one. Try it out for yourself. It might just work for you. :)

Horrible side effects from this pill. I have been on this for 2 years and begged to be moved to another pill. I was offered the nuvaring only but I was not comfortable with wearing the ring. With that said, my doc would not switch me. I HATE this pill. I have mood swings like a mental paitent and I have no libido - not good for my hubby so prolly thinks I am having an affair.

Horrible side effects from this pill. I have been on this for 2 years and begged to be moved to another pill. I was offered the nuvaring only but I was not comfortable with wearing the ring. With that said, my doc would not switch me. I HATE this pill. I have mood swings like a mental paitent and I have no libido - not good for my hubby so prolly thinks I am having an affair. I get NO period at all any more- this took about a year...thought I was pregnant - but no- just this pill stops you being a woman! Having NO period is NOT GOOD and a side effect that should tell you to get off of the pill, it is a sign of major hormonal imbalance. I am getting off of this for good and my husband is getting a vesectomy. This is the healthiest alternative for us. I have had other side effects too- horrible acne in my 30s...discomfort, cramps and gall stones- my gall bladder needs removal. The mood swings and libido depletion are my worst complaints. GET OFF OF IT if this is happening to you, please.
