"i did not get pregnant while taking junel fe 1.5, so technically it worked. however, that could have been because it knocked my libido down quite a bit so i was basically abstinent. i also gained weight, had problems with my skin and found myself suffering from drastic mood swings and anxiety. i was nauseous daily, despite taking the pill with food, at night or at precisely the same time every day. as someone who infrequently suffers migraines, this pill made them a thousand times worse. blinding headaches. i&#039;ve been off it for a year and a few months at this point, and have seen a huge reduction in migraines and problems with my libido since. pro: while i was on this, it made my periods really light or nonexistent."
