Junel or Minstrin?? Birth control. Full of questions today

[Awkward]

No direct experience, but Minastrin is a chewable, Junel I think is only the swallow pill. Not sure if that makes a difference to you, I know I prefer to swallow than chew (lolz).

I took Junel before TTC. I really liked it. I tried a bunch of different brands (Yaz and I can't remember what else). Junel is the only one I didn't have spotting on

I've been taking Junel since my DD was born (4 years) and have no complaints except for the few times I NEVER get a period. It's only happened a few times, but it throws me into a panic and out buying a pregnancy test. I talked to my doctor and he said it was a normal side effect that could happen. I never spot on it or or have any other common side effects.

I love Junel, I take the 1/20 dose. I started at a different dose and upped to this one bc I had some spotting.

I've tried no less than 10-15 different ones over the years and that was the best for me.

I take junel and I like it. The only thing that's annoying is that my period has become heavier on some cycles and then the next cycle will be super light. It always makes me paranoid. I've never had spotting on it though

God, I hate the stupid names they give to birth control pills.

Exactly this. About once a year or so I'd skip a period on it and completely flip out, but other than that, it was awesome.
