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 |
5.8
For Birth Control: I've used Xulane for the last 3 years and it's been effective for me as a birth control but I get my normal period on my week off and also usually another week of the month I'm spotting, which is irritating. I've experience breast tenderness and I've had 3 patches fall off completely since I've had it and a few others that I got to re-stick, which was stressful! I'm getting the implant this week to see how it goes, especially since it's longer lasting, but if it doesn't work out I plan to use Xulane again since I really hate pills! For Birth Control: PROS: 1) patch method 2) can skip periods 3) can get in multiples (3 month supplies) 4) helps acne 5) helps level hormones 6) fully covered by insurance CONS: 1) major fatigue 2) increased cervical mucus 3) migraines 4) sore muscles 5) groggy body and head |

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.
