"i have taken junel fe 1/20 for two months primarily as a method of birth control. so far, i have had a few episodes of mild nausea, and one more serious episode where the nausea was nearly immobilizing and accompanied with harsh pelvic pain and spotting. i have had some mood swings and low feelings -- though i experienced this prior in the form of pms, too.  my breasts seem slightly larger, though i have not gained weight otherwise. prior to taking junel fe 1/20, i had very occasional breakouts, which i am still experiencing. i experienced spotting and light bleeding on the active pills -- which will hopefully subside as the hormones regulate."
