"i started on junel when i was 17, and i&#039;ve had 0 problems with it. i didn&#039;t gain weight, feel depressed, or anything. my skin was cleared and my period got pretty light. i switched birth control pills for a while a few years ago (junel wasn&#039;t available where i was abroad) and it was terrible!! i was always sore, tired, gained weight, moody, etc (this was a first gen estrogen pill unlike junel which is a low dose). i then switched back to junel and all those problems went away thankfully. 



everyone is different, but for me at least, junel has been perfect."
