"i had been taking levora for almost two years but decided to stop because i realized many negative aspects could be contributed to it. yes, it was a successful birth control because i never got pregnant, but i developed acne for the first time in my life (i&#039;m 21). the acne could not be contributed to anything else - i&#039;m a healthy and active vegetarian with an esthetician for a mother. i also had no sex drive, which was my first major red flag that something serious was out of whack. i also went from a d to an f cup - cool for my boyfriend but not for my wardrobe. it was almost impossible to lose weight. however, periods were short with no cramps or spotting and i never got pregnant. i switched to the lower-dose lutera this week."
