I started Junel in October of 2018 but then stopped taking it due to chest pains that I later found out had NOTHING to do with the birth control. But after stopping Junel, i went on Depo (the injection) which caused me to have my period for two months straight along with consistent anxiety attacks.

But after stopping Junel, i went on Depo (the injection) which caused me to have my period for two months straight along with consistent anxiety attacks. So then I decided to go back on junel to stop the abnormal period. And honestly junel works amazing for me, besides the occasional headache and breast tenderness, I have no other side effects. I would say try it out first and see how your body reacts to it, instead of going off of the bad reviews. Everyoneâ??s body is different and will react differently :)

The switch over from my old birth control showed a major difference in mood and overall wellness.

Took it for 2 years without any side effects, but now I'm pregnant! I don't blame the medication since I was not using it "perfectly" but more "typical use" with 91% effectiveness. I was just in that 9% failure rate. Thankfully I'm a 29-year-old married woman, so baby came at a perfect time when I am mentally and financially ready. Just be aware of the failure rate ...

Just be aware of the failure rate if you're not using the medication perfectly (same time everyday without missing doses), because you CAN get pregnant.

so I myself freak out and read all these reviews and that’s why I stayed off of birth control for like 7 years and have continued to suffer from pcos (hope to g*d it’s not endo but we’ll see with time hopefully) and I finally did it! I had no choice really. I had a severely painful ovarian cyst pop after sex (not my first time) and I decided it was enough of going to the hospital and suffering. I ... Show Full Comment

I had no choice really. I had a severely painful ovarian cyst pop after sex (not my first time) and I decided it was enough of going to the hospital and suffering. I started this pill a week ago and I’ll update as much as I can .. so far I had some foggy days in the beginning and felt pretty weird but then it went away and the nausea has been on and off (which they say is normal) I do drink a lot of herbal tea already so that has probably been helping it (peppermint/etc) and now my only complaints are this random brown discharge today(first time kinda) and itchy/burning bumps/pimples that keep popping up everywhere the past few days. I do have sensitive skin already but I hope I get used to this pill. I am on the second week! Will report back soon

I've been on birth control for years but this is my first time trying Junel Fe and it's not working for me at all. I just decided to get off of it to see if the side effects that I was experiencing was from the pill and so far so good. I was experiencing low sex drive, irritability, mood swings, and headaches. This is the worst pill I've ever had. I really think they should stop sellin ... Show Full Comment
