Birth Control
"I have been taking Lutera for a year. It has protected against pregnancy very well.  My periods are much lighter and I almost never get cramps.  I have missed 2 periods which was a little scary.  I have gained about 8 pounds and I crave sweet foods even more than I used to.  My breasts are slightly bigger.  I feel tired if I don&#039;t get at least 10 hours of sleep.  My sex drive is slightly lower.  I do have a mood swing usually about once a month where I cry about anything and everything for 2 days.  I have always felt more emotional right before my periods, but I did not cry as much before.  I think I am going to switch birth control because of the weight gain.  Other than that, the side effects do not bother me."
