"i started lutera about a month ago. i was on the nuvaring before that. i switched to lutera because being as active as i am, the nuvaring somehow found it&#039;s way out. lutera is the first birth control pill that i have taken, and my experience has been great so far. the pills are small and easy to swallow which was a huge plus! i did not have breakthrough bleeding on the pill like i did with the nuvaring {i skip my periods purposely by starting a new pack instead of the inactive week pill/nuvaring} so that was fantastic as well. no pregnancies here, so it&#039;s been very effective for that! i never had any nausea with the pill, but i did have some weight gain {about 6 pounds, which did not make me happy!}."
