"i had mild water retention (about 5lbs), moderate bloating with abdominal pain, and persistent diarrhea while taking this pill.  the first few days of taking junel i had nausea, vertigo, and blurred vision.  the nausea and visions problems disappeared within three days, but the other side effects continued with use.

i was taking this for endometriosis to try and help relieve my cramps.  i was disappointed because instead of having pain only the first couple of days of my period, i was left with daily abdominal pain and then my period pains were definitely elevated (from and 8 to a 9 on my pain scale).

i&#039;m off this pill now, though, because i experienced migraine with aura."
