I only took Lutera for one month back in April 2008 and here it is October 2008 and I still have not had my cycle. It made me emotional and tired, I as well had tender breasts (started within the 2nd week of taking the pill), so I decided to take myself off. With those symptoms, I felt like I was pregnant. I am not at all satisfied w/ Lutera. I go today to my OB/GYN today and fixing all of this. I ... Show Full Comment

I have been on this BC for about 2 years now. Within 2 weeks, I noticed a change in my mood. I started to cry more and I was much more anxious. I thought it was just the stress I was going through, but now I'm starting to wonder. I've never reacted to stress before like I have since taking this medication. I have also experience a very decreased sex drive and vaginal dryness. Well, I& ... Show Full Comment

I have also experience a very decreased sex drive and vaginal dryness. Well, I'm certainly not going to get pregnant while on this pill now am I. Don't get me wrong now...I have enjoyed having a regular, much shorter period. I used to get my period once every 2-3 months or so and never knew when it was coming. Now, I can tell you almost to the hour and day when I am getting it.

I've had such horrible headaches that they make me ill. Also been getting very tired around nine or ten at night, when usually I fall asleep around one or two in the morning. I've been crying so easily, and I feel somewhat paranoid that I'll never feel the same as I did before I started taking this BC.

I've been on Lutera for over a year now. The positive side effects I've noticed is that my skin is clearer, and my periods are more regular. On the other hand, I've experienced a decrease in sex drive, trouble sleeping and anxiety and moodiness. I'm not sure if these are solely the fault of the pills, but I am going to look into alternatives with fewer side effects.
