"i&#039;m 27 yrs old, 5&#039;6&quot;, &amp; 125lbs. i&#039;m a mother of a 5yr old &amp; a 3yr old. my first time on any kind of birth control was after the birth of my 3yr old &amp; was the implant implanon. i had a horrible experience overall with the side effects, (extremely hormonal, excessive bleeding, horrible removal, &amp; much more). after lots of research to avoid another disaster experience, i chose lutera. within a week &amp; little by little, i started noticing a difference in everything. pros: for the first time since i was a teenager, my periods were on time &amp; even better, only lasted 3-4 days. my skin is clearer, my breasts are fuller, &amp; no more mood swings. i feel like a normal woman. cons: my breasts are a little sore, possibly bc i&#039;m a dd with now fuller breasts"
