"i was on lutera for 9 months. it was great. the only side effects i experienced were my acne clearing up and my breasts increasing a cup size. i am extremely active in my sex life and i didn&#039;t get pregnant; i trust this pill a lot. but for my last two periods i started spotting for the whole third week of pills and then having a very heavy period, so my doctor is putting me on a higher dose of a similar medicine, i&#039;m just hoping it is exactly the same but with a normal period. other than that i would highly recommend this birth control."
