"i&#039;ve been on junel fe for 6 months. since being on it, my periods don&#039;t last as long and are usually really light, i don&#039;t have severe cramping or severe nausea, haven&#039;t really spotted. the only bad thing in my experience is that i&#039;ve gained 30 pounds in four months while taking this and so far no matter how hard i try, i can&#039;t seem to lose any of that extra weight. believe me, i am making a huge effort to lose this weight. this medication is the only difference in my life that can account for the weight gain, unless i have some illness or medical problem that i am unaware of (i am only twenty years old with no medical history of any diseases in my family). also, i have taken pregnancy tests and i am not pregnant."
