"i was on lutera from october 2011 - october 2013 and it was amazing. my periods were on time every month, i had no severe cramping, my mood swings died down a lot and it protected me. in the 2 years i took lutera every day and it was the best birth control i ever took. no weight gain, no acne, it was perfect. unfortunately, i had to stop taking it as i didn&#039;t have enough money to afford another years worth of birth control. and 3 months later i found out i was pregnant with my son who is now 5 months old! my obgyn prescribed me microgestion fe 1.5/20 bc and i&#039;m trying to switch back to it and lutera is the birth control i know that worked for me"
