"before getting on bc, i was absolutely terrified because of the side effects and all the god awful reviews. i&#039;ve been on lutera now for 2 months, which isn&#039;t a very long time, but i wanted to still give my review. my body might start to react differently in the later future but if it stays at where it&#039;s at now, i&#039;ll be so so happy. my period is much lighter, cramps are the same, i haven&#039;t bloated like a balloon, etc. i always experienced mood swings during my periods and i think i&#039;m just about the same with birth control, no more no less (yoga helps a lot with my insane moods), sometimes i&#039;ll get a headache from the pill sometimes but lasts about half an hour. my boobs are pretty sore here and there after taking the pill. nothing else!"
