Actually, both of those are generics for the brand names Loestrin and Microgestin. Generics all have their own names but from a chemical standpoint, the active ingredients are identical to the name brand. Where Junel and Blisovi differ is just in the inactive ingredients.
I had my period September 21..and recently changed to Junel 3 months ago. I did not have a period in October and have taken several pregnancy tests. Then this past week when i was supposed to have my november period, i only had some brown discharge and its not consistent..just at some point everyday. I have not taken a pregnancy test since this has occurred. Not sure if im pregnant or not, because i know you can somewhat "psych" yourself out.
That happens when one miss Junel Fe for one day. Junel Fe usually take the body's bones and reduce the calcium. Using the reduction of calcium, Junel Fe then can make the baby's mess to be less (as babies are made from pouches and the bones). It's a dangerous and really effective drug. Stop the bleeding with ivory (plant) and ivory (mineral).
I had been on Junel fe for years, and was on Azurette before as well. I decided to switch back to Azurette because it helps my acne. However, I was advised to use a backup method for a month when exchanging. I finished my Junel Fe and got my period, then started Azurette on the Sunday after my period. I had the condom break the following Sunday after.(so I had 8 Azurette pills in my system when it broke, all taken on time).
Let me just start off by saying the worst decision of my life was starting on microgestin. I started taking microgestin last July and within days I was feeling dizzy and i called my ob and she advised me to keep taking them that my body just had to get used to them. So I did. About a week later I suffered from my 1st panic attack at a meeting at work. Then I knew it was from microgestin. So I took myself off of them.
I switched to Junel fe 1/20 about 2 months ago, I've taken the pill daily and haven't been sexually active since I switched, but before I was. I have yet to get my period in these two months I've been on it, I've felt like I was on my period and even got cramps but no bleeding. the last time i got my period was July 4th. what should I do? Does Junel Fe cause no bleeding periods? should I be worried?
I'm on my second week of Junel fe 1/20 and have been bleeding the last few days, and the first week I have problens stayin wet, is this because of the Birth Control
Have you tried any other pills? You might just be sensitive to the type of estrogen and progesteron Microgestin uses or need a different balance, etc., to not experience the mood symptoms. I had issues with sensitivity to smell, nausea, and other things, but I changed the time I took it. However, I think you need to talk to your gynecologist about trying something else as you're getting mood symptoms.
I take Junel birth control pills but ran out. The pharmacy didnt have any more refills and my doctor is hard to reach. I supposed to started taking my new pack last Thursday. What should I do?
I was regular until October when I began having severe cramps and periods lasting 21 days with very heavy bleeding. I went to my doctor who put me on Junel (birth control) and the periods slowed some, but I had a lot of bleeding even on the birth control. Stumped, my doc referred me to an OBGYN that specializes in complicated cases. After a pelvic ultrasound (and a lot of blood loss, because by this time it was already January!), the doc saw a tennis ball sized cyst on my ovary.
I have been taking junel fe 1/20 for 4 years, with the occasional missed pill but for the most part daily at the same time. I however forgot to take two pills, and then had unprotected sex with ejaculation on one of the days I missed the pills. What are my chances of getting pregnant?
I just started taking Microgestin and I'm liking it so far. Does anyone have any information on this birth control and how do you like it personally?
Same here, I've been taking microgestin fe 1/20 for about 5 months now and the namebrand version of it for around 6 months before that. I feel very pregnant, did not get my period during the placebo pills, and now 8 days after the last of my sugar pills i quit my birth control since i feel like this and it could be pregnancy if not i feel gross anyways.
I have been on the same birth control pill, Junel Fe 1.5mg (generic for microgestin) for almost a year now. I noticed while on this pill that my breasts grew about a full cup size, which is normal & actually made me feel really confident about myself ( I was a 34 B then jumped to a 34 C) This month when I went to start my new pack, I noticed that the pill color was completely different than it usually is, but the pack looked the same, so I didn't think anything of it.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Last month I took a few pills late, but never completley missed one, I'm on microgestin, it caused my period to come a week early I guess. If I continue right into my next pack and take them exactly on time am I still protected?
I started my second month on junel fe birth control 4 days ago. the second night i forgot to take it at my regular time of approximately 10pm. and I ended up taking it at like 5am. is there a chance of pregnancy?
The problem started when my gyn put me on microgestin after being on the generic ortho tricyclen for 10 years. 1 month into the Microgestin I became severely dizzy and had severe heart palpitations. I completely stopped all birth control and my body became super fatigued and I broke out in horrible cystic acne. After changing my diet, elimating caffeine, accupuncture and taking many herbs and vitamins my body feels better. Now I am experiencing severe pms symptoms every period.
I've been taking microgestin for about 5 1/2 years now. I've neve noticed a brown spotting the week before my period at all. Yesterday I noticed some spotting and today it did it again. I haven't missed any pills or taken them later. I'm curious as to what could be causing this?
I've been taking Junel Fe 1/20 for a few years. For the first time since I've been on this birth control, I missed a period. I've also been having weird non-period symptoms. Did not miss a pill. My period is 6 days late. Took a test this morning, negative. What is going on?
