"i first started using lutera about a year and a half ago for my first form of birth control. it was generally pretty easy to adjust to and i had no major side effects. a couple minor downsides were that it did not help my skin one bit. i was a little bit more emotional then usual and one major thing that affected me was that my sex drive was virtually non-existent. overall i liked lutera and was pretty easy to take and was very effective in helping moderate my period symptoms."
