Starting Birth Control Pills- Lutera Posted: 10-06-07 23:13pm
Hey everyone
I have a question about Lutera. I just
started taking it (ive been taking it for
about a week) and have never been on birth
control before. The only problem with
Lutera that Im having is I feel nauseous
and sick to my stomach all the time. I
rarely want to eat and I'm very bloated. I
also feel very tired all the time. Is this
normal when first starting any birth
control pill? I'm really hoping these side
effects will go away soon!

Yes! Unfortunately those are all very
common side effects. Give the pill three
months to settle down.
To deal with nausea, change how you take
them. If you take them at night on an
empty stomach, reverse this and take them
in the morning with food. If you take them
in the morning with food, then switch and
take them at night on an empty stomach.

I was really nauseous on my pill for the
first two months or so, but it went away.
Just give it time, and do like Eiri said
if that doesn't work.
