"i&#039;ve been on lutera for around a year and i think it&#039;s a great birth control. my periods are usually pretty light, but one thing i&#039;ve noticed is that i get brown discharge quite often (no i don&#039;t have std&#039;s). my doctor told me that lutera would be a better birth control for me because it has a lower dose of hormones than many other birth controls since i&#039;ve had bad experiences with others. i&#039;ve had no weight gain, and have actually lost around 40lbs since i switched from the depo shot to lutera. i recommend it!"
