User Reviews for Junel Fe 1/20

Junel Fe 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone) for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: My ob/gyn started me on this medicine after I started having my period every 2 weeks. I've been taking it for about 3 months now and have had the lightest and least painful periods of my life. They last about 2-3 days tops. But it does still carry some of the side effects that is why I dropped other Birth Control pills (in the past). I get very "mooody" leading up to the few days before my inactive pills and my boobs get HUGE! As far as weight gain, I haven't experienced any yet. But I consider myself pretty active, working out 3-4 times a week, and my weight hasn't moved since I started taking this medicine, hopefully this will change. Overall, coming from having very heavy, extremely painful and frequent periods, Junel has made my life much better.

Junel Fe 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone): I switched to Junel from LoEstrin 24 because of expenses. Junel being a generic of Loestrin. I had NO side effects with Loestrin and I have ALL the side effects on Junel. I have HEAVY periods, painful cramps, 10-15 pound weight gain, and I can't get rid of it, no matter how much I work out and exercise. I break out EVERYDAY upon my chin. And if I sleep longer than 8 hours, like over the weekend I get pain throughout my lower back. I'm definitely switching.

Junel Fe 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone) for Birth Control: I have been very happy with Junel. This is the 1st pill I have taken without horrible side effects. I experienced slight nausea and cramping on day 2, but that's gone away. I have slightly elevated hunger level, so I have needed to be conscious of food intake. No bloating, spotting, and weight gain. My libido has increased and my acne cleared up.

Junel Fe 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone) for Birth Control: After I started taking Junel I got my period and I've had it for over 2 weeks. It's pretty heavy and I have bad cramps. Hopefully it will go away or I am going to discontinue it.

Junel Fe 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone) for Acne: I had been taking these pills for about 6 months and my period were great, skin was perfectly clear. Then I got off of them and now I'm back on them and my entire chin has broken out. I'm only on the 3rd week of restarting them so I hope it goes back to the way it used to be. Maybe its just the hormones going crazy for now. I don't know.

Junel Fe 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone): I had very irregular periods accompanied by cramps so bad they caused vomiting. I have been on Junel for 3 1/2 years and have had significantly reduced cramps and a lighter, regular period. I do still break out but not worse than I did before starting the medication. I have experienced no other side effects.

Junel Fe 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone) for Birth Control: I have been using Junel 1/20 for almost 3 years now. The only positives I have experienced are no cramping and stabilized moods. My period consists of 2 weeks of spotting which I find incredibly annoying, I would rather have 1 week of a regular period. The worst side effect for me has been weight gain and the inability to lose weight. Over 3 years I have gained 20-25 lbs. I am unable to lose it despite having consistently worked out for 4-5 days a week with a personal trainer. I have completely changed my eating habits (cut out pop, fast food, and cut back on sugar and alcohol). I kept thinking it was my fault but after being committed to weight loss for 2 years and seeing no results, I blame this pill.

Junel Fe 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone) for Birth Control: I am on week three on Junel Fe 1/20 and so far it has been great. This is my first birth control pill. Today I am week three on Sunday and I started have some spotting. I haven't had sex yet without a condom, not sure if I should.

Junel Fe 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone) for Acne: This pill certainly works for birth control and my periods are significantly lighter and shorter, but the acne on my face worsened and I suddenly had back acne as well. I had to get another prescription for acne medicine to get that under control.

Junel Fe 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/ norethindrone): I have only been on Junel for about 3 months after trying tons of other unaffordable birth controls. I've gained 5-10 pounds and I'm working out 5-6 days a week and recording everything I eat. Weight will not come off!
