"i was originally on lutera for a couple months, my clinic transitions from lutera to orsythia occasionally. they have the same amount of medicine in them so it&#039;s pretty neutral. my experience has been pretty good. no headaches, lighter cramps and shorter period days (3/4). however, i became moody where i&#039;d get very angry or very sad. it fluctuated but was persistent during my placebo week. my weight also increased a little, went from a size 1/2 to a 3/4 with lots of bloating 3 weeks of the month. not too horrible i&#039;ve been on this transitioning medicine for over a year and have not had any pregnancy scares or babies. does it&#039;s job well with some side effects."
