Hey,
i started lutera on the last day of my
period (the beginning of this motnh), and
about a week later I had light bleeding
for a week, and now my discharge has color
in it... Also, after sex I bleed even
more. Is this normal??? Will I have to
wait for it to regulate? I'm supposed to
start the placebos this wednesday... So
does that mean i'll be bleeding again?
This blood stuff is really frustrating
any help will be greatly appreciated!

Lutera Posted: 08-31-06 08:28am
Wow I am suprised....I have been on lutera
for about 6 months now..I did the "sunday"
start. I never had any problems with it
until when 3 months into it I missed "one"
active pill... 14 days later I bleed for
about 8 days straight it was brownish
spotting. Then the next month I didnt
miss any and started spotting while I had
2 active pills left. Then I took my sugar
pills and it stopped once I started my new
pack. Whatever you do, do not miss a
pill! It will mess up your next 2 cycles.
Otherwise its been great I lost 5 pounds
and everything. You will always bleed on
your sugar pills thats when your supposed
to get your period but because you had
break through bleeding you may not. Trust
me this stuff is worth it keep on it for a
few months its worth it. Because you
started the day after your period it may
effect you defferently good luck e-mail me
if you need me

Thank you so much! That helped!
Yeah, that's the type of brownish spotting
I had, and only a couple of times I would
bleed out of nowhere. So far I haven't
missed a pill.. It's only been a month so
i'm about ready to start my second motnh
next wednesday. Other than the whole
blood deal, it is great! I dont seem to
have any of the other symptoms, so that's
great!
Thanks again!

I have been taking lutera for two weeks
now, and just wondered if anyone else has
experienced similar side effects: overly
emotional, acne, weight gain? I have
pcos, which is why the doc prescribed
lutera...Just wondering if the pill will
help regulate my hormones enough to be
worth the side effects! I know everyone
responds differently, but if anyone has
any thoughts/experience with this that
would be great.

My Side Effects 2 Weeks Into Lutera Posted: 11-03-06 01:36am
This is my 14th day using lutera having
been off birth control for about 2 years.
I started on the first day of my period
but missed a pill into the 10th day and
began bleeding again. So yeah, whatever
you do, do not miss a pill!
Into the 8th day I had increased sexual
desire. My skin is a bit dry. My breast
grew overnight, particularly my right
breast. They are sore and developed light
stretch marks.
My appetite increased and do not feel
satisfied after eating. Also whenever I
eat everything is teasteless. Its to
soon, however, to notice any weight gain
or loss.
As far as emotional side-effects I am
feeling bored and perhaps a bit depressed.
I have lost interest in social
activities I had previously planned. I
am more easily disoriented about time and
priorities and feel generally fatiged. I
began sleeping more than usual.
I hope this info helps.

Been On Lutera For Almost a Year Posted: 10-15-07 17:57pm
Hi all,
I've been on Lutera for almost a year and
i've never missed a period. This month
however my cycle is off. The last week of
last month I missed 2 pills, was away from
home unexpectedly for 2 days. When I got
home I immediately took the 2 pills I had
missed and a week later I had some
moderate spotting. Now that its the last
week of my pills (sugar/placebo pills) i'm
not having a period at all. Could this
just be stress (lots of major things going
on in my life that are stressing me out)
or could I be pregnant? Fiance wants me to
call planned parenthood which is where I
got the pills and make an appt or talk to
a doctor and ask what is up with my cycle.
I'm worried.. anybody had any similar
experiences? Please share..

If you missed two pills, yes you could be
pregnant. That mixed with your usually
regular period sends up warning signals.
If it's been more than 2 weeks since the
missed pills, then you can go ahead and
test.

I have been on this birth control for
about 2 years now and it has worked out
very well for me. Recently, I went on
vacation right before I was to start my
new pack of pills. I took it Monday,
Tuesday and forgot Wednesday and Thursday,
unfortunately I did not remember how to
catch up on my pills and just decided to
skip taking them this month. Unfortunately
the week after on Tuesday I woke up to
bleeding, I didn't think it would last all
day, but it did and more heavy then my
periods on the pills. Is this bleeding
normal, because I am not on the pill right
now because I got too behind? Should I
start taking the pills this Sunday to
restart? Please let me know!
