"i was on lutera for about a year in 2011 and i wound up in the hospital because of crippling pain near my right ovary, they could not figure out what the problem was. i stopped taking the birth control and the pain was bearable. however, since then every time i have my period the pain comes back and it&#039;s always in the same spot. the pain is still terrible normally when i have the pain i can&#039;t walk or even shift my weight around. the doctors now think the birth control caused permanent damage to my right ovary be very cautious"
