I Have A Birth Control Question. I Have Been On
Question: I have a birth control question. I have been on Junel 1/20 for several years. Past 6 months I started having hormonal acne and break through bleeding. My doctor said with the break through bleeding that I should change pills. She put me on Gianvi. I read some online reviews and see a lot of negative reviews on this for mood problems, increased breast size and blood clots. Before I believe everything on the internet, I wanted a second opinion. Are these things I should concerned about and go back to Junel?
Brief Answer:
Yes you can take it.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting us about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
As these are low dose hormonal pills the side effects are low with both the birth control pills.
So you can start with any of the birth control pills but as you are having side effects with jungle better to switch to other birth control pills.
So all these side effects are due to hormonal imbalance caused by estrogen but as both the pills contain low estrogen, the side effects are less.
Hope found useful, feel free to ask more information.
Good luck
Regards
