I just had a baby and I couldn't remember wat my birth control name was until I got home so my dr at my 6 week postpartum apt gave me a birth control with the lowest dose of estrogen on the market, but the thing is I love birth control. I had NO NEGATIVE side effects from it AT ALL. I took it for contraception, but it made my acne better, made my pms go away, and helped me maintain my weight, the first few years I was on it I have never had such an easy time keeping weight off. I love Lutera!! I have samples of this new birth control so I'm not even going to fill my prescription just in case I decide I want lutera back. Maybe my body just does really well with estrogen. I still had some acne but there was definitely a noticeable difference that my acne was less. I had bad mood swings and cramping before lutera in HS, but after I graduated I went on it and I no longer had mood swings at all and my cramping lessened. I still cramped once in a while but not every period. It also made my period lighter. Instead of a super plus tampon I could usually use a regular. Every couple of months it would be heavier but usually a regular tampon was all I needed. I've always had regular periods so I can't comment in that. Overall I love this birth control.

Last month it was on back order and I was only recently able to get it agian and now I'm having headaches, mood swings, nausea and vomiting.I'm think of switching to a different birth control now.

Was on this for about 6 months and worst chest back shoulder and face acne. It was horrible. Mood was ok didn't get too emotional just kind of blah to everything going on around me. Did put on about 10 pounds though.

I started taking Lutera over a year ago and it was my first birth control. It worked amazingly both for regulating my periods and also making sure I didn't get pregnant. This pill is honestly 100% reliable, I had a few times where other birth control methods failed (i.e. the condom broke) and Lutera did not fail me. Only side effects for me was the week before I had my period, I did act a litt ... Show Full Comment

This pill is honestly 100% reliable, I had a few times where other birth control methods failed (i.e. the condom broke) and Lutera did not fail me. Only side effects for me was the week before I had my period, I did act a little crazy and got extra bitchy. Also my body did get used to the pill too much and I had to switch because I was getting my period irregularly again. If it weren't for my body getting used to it, I would have continued to take Lutera.

I'm 18 years old and have been taking Lutera for about 3 weeks now and in my opinion, it is an amazing pill! I used to take Chateal, but it gave me terrible mood swings along with acne so I stopped taking Chateal and switched to Lutera.

I'm 18 years old and have been taking Lutera for about 3 weeks now and in my opinion, it is an amazing pill! I used to take Chateal, but it gave me terrible mood swings along with acne so I stopped taking Chateal and switched to Lutera. The only side effects that I have encountered with Lutera so far are: 1.) VERY SORE breasts!! (I joke with my boyfriend that now he can't touch my boobs cuz they're too sore and sensitive.) 2.) Small amount of irritability. Although my moodiness is not nearly as bad as it was while I was on Chateal, I have noticed a small increase in my irritability. (But it's so minor that I have already gotten used to managing it.( 3.) Bigger breasts!! Since taking Lutera, the size of my breasts have increased a lot. In my opinion, this side effect makes up for having sore breasts.
