Iâ??m almost finished with my first pack of this birth control and I have not been getting any side effects. I did get break through bleeding since I did not wait until my period to take this pill, and my period was still very very painful, had very bad cramps but I wouldnâ??t call this pill horrible because I havenâ??t been using it very long for it to really stop my period pains yet. It has cleared my acne, no pregnancy, no weight gain. No mood swings either. My emotions have been the exact same as before I took this pill. I was wondering why there are so many negative reviews on this pill and Iâ??d just like to say my experience has been satisfactory and everyoneâ??s body is different. I recommend not taking ibuprofen with this pill though, because I made that mistake and my legs were inflamed and swollen and red. Thankfully that subsided in one night and my legs felt normal. I have bought compression socks to make sure I lessen my risk of DVT just in case.

Had to switch to Junel Fe after the previous pill I was taking was no longer covered by my drug company. This pill has given me so many issues with acne, a low sex drive, and major depressive episodes. Definitely do not recommend this pill as it has given me so much trouble. It’s not worth it.

I started this pill as a birth control preventative, to help with extreme menstrual pain, and to help my acne. It has helped with the first issue, and the first year or so it did help with my period a lot. It minimized my period pains such as cramps but it increased my back pain to a different level. and i did not bleed at all the first year or so which honestly freaked me out as someone who is se ...

It has helped with the first issue, and the first year or so it did help with my period a lot. It minimized my period pains such as cramps but it increased my back pain to a different level. and i did not bleed at all the first year or so which honestly freaked me out as someone who is sexually active. and now the bleeding is on and off which is very annoying for the sake of my clothes. it did not help with my acne at all and i canâ??t determine if it made it worse because i already had pretty bad skin and i started a medication for the acne itself halfway through. but i HATE this pill. it makes you extremely sad, i was going through something at the beginning of taking it and it had dragged those emotions out for almost a whole year. when it should have been over with in a couple months. i will wake up some days just sad, lazy, mad, i get easily irritated with the smallest things when that is just not me as a person. If i miss a pill, it is the most awful experience. i literally have to lay in bed in a dark room ALL day. I get a crazy headache, stomach pains, back pains, nausea, irritation, all types of things. i also believe it has caused my body not be able to get rid of as much bacteria as it should which has caused reoccurring utis.

This pill is terrible! Been on it 5/6 months now, and the first couple months were great, up until a couple months ago. My symptoms went from nonexistent to absurd. Mood swings, cystic acne, terrible and very noticeable bloating, ungodly nausea that doesn’t get better, insomnia, no sex drive, crying over nothing, feeling depressed, disliking myself, intrusive thoughts. If I had known this low dose ... Show Full Comment

This pill is terrible! Been on it 5/6 months now, and the first couple months were great, up until a couple months ago. My symptoms went from nonexistent to absurd. Mood swings, cystic acne, terrible and very noticeable bloating, ungodly nausea that doesn’t get better, insomnia, no sex drive, crying over nothing, feeling depressed, disliking myself, intrusive thoughts. If I had known this low dose pill would have been so bad for me, I wouldn’t have ever tried it to begin with. Nothing like it’s twin sister Junel FE 1.5/30. I had hair loss, balding, unhealthy weight loss, no appetite, blood clots, depression. List goes on. If I were you, I would stay away from this pill. Save yourself the troubles. Your health is worth more then a generic combination pill!!

Iâ??ve been taking this Bc for 2 months. Initially I had mild nausea that subsided after a week, and light spotting for 5 days. No weight gain, no changes to my mental state or other side effects. So far no babies. I highly recommend this birth control.
