Q: Junel Side effects

I just switched to Junel from Loestrin24 (it got too pricey) and i was wondering how do you like it? Are there any side effects I should look out for? Sore breasts, increased sex drive, acne? (I've read stories, not sure what to believe). I am just starting week three of my first pack, so I am not sure what to expect, especially since Junel has 7 inactive pills instead of 4. Will there be a difference? I was having short light periods with loestrin24. I really didn't have a problem with it, other than the price, which went up again, and I do not have insurance. Does anyone who has taken Junel have any words of wisdom?

Junel side effects (Microgestin Fe)

I have really light periods, though I bled for the first 2 weeks a bit. My sex drive has tripled, my face cleared up, and my boobs got bigger- though there was some initial weight gain that you have to watch out for. However, a little working out and you will be fine.
I am very emotional though... so keep that under control.
