"a couple years ago i took lutera for a year and didn&#039;t have too many problems. i stopped taking it, then re-started 6 months ago.

this time was bad. my mood was off - little things would make me super aggravated or want to cry, while &quot;better&quot; days made me extremely happy and hyper. also had on-off dryness down there - pretty uncomfortable, esp. sex-wise.

worst part was the 2-week periods i got on this pill. for five months straight, i had my period for 1/2 the month, with cramps, lower back pain, irritability, and heavy bleeding. the gyno kept saying it was my body adjusting, but after the 5th month of this, i&#039;m taking a break for birth control for a month and then switching to another pill."
