Female, Age : 21-30 years old , Reason : Contraception. Side Effects : slight nausea and cramping on Day 2 of starting treatment. Increased hunger level Review : I have been very happy with Junel. This is the 1st pill I have taken w/o horrible side effects. I experienced slight nausea and cramping on day 2, but that's gone away. I have slightly elevated hunger level, so I have needed to be conscious of food intake. No bloating, spotting, and weight gain. My libido has increased and my acne cleared up.
