For Birth Control: Junel Fe 24 is a good birth control have a ton of discharge but thats pretty much it. I get barely any bleeding now, versus before my periods were 5 days and heavy. No cramps No acne So far no babies but we pull out too I love it |

For Birth Control: Fortunately, my insurance covers Sprintec! I’ve taken Sprintec for only 2 weeks. It hasn’t caused anything but some mild acne. It’s not bad at all. So far, it hasn’t changed my mood, sex drive, or anything serious. I’ll give another update after 2 months passes. For Birth Control: Been taking Sprintec for two months and it’s been breaking me out like crazy other than that and mild weight gain it’s improved my mood. Did anyone else experiences serious breakouts how long did it take to see acne clearing? |

For Birth Control: Junel Fe was my first birth control and at first it worked really well for me. However, I soon noticed that it made my acne terrible. My periods started to get more irregular, they almost never came on my placebo week. It also made me cry almost daily for no reason, I was just really sad all of the time. When I stopped taking it my acne decreased and I didn’t feel the urge to cry all of them time. Works differently for everyone, but it wasn’t terrible compared to other birth controls I’ve taken.
