ineffective birth control ? Posted: 05-04-08 21:12pm
About 4 months ago I started taking
Lutera. I had been on 2 previous types of
bc in the past, with a couple of months in
between each new one. the first two, Ortho
Tricylcen Lo and Yaz, gave me horrible
side affects, no sex drive, hair loss,
weight gain, oily skin and even acne, and
those are two that are suppose to help
prevent it!
however, i started taking lutera and have
no symptoms or side affects.. i haven't
really gained weight, i have quite a sex
drive still.. it's almost as if i'm not
taking it.
i AM taking it correctly, every day, same
time, and yet no side affects.
i know that sometimes it happens, but does
it happen more if it's not working? before
i go to the doctor and have her change it,
has this happened to anyone? is there
maybe a blood test or something to tell if
everything is in order?

Well i started bc pills about 4 months ago
and during the 3rd month my breast were
sore for like the whole month. Everyone's
body is differenct and will react
differently. If this still concerns you
call you doctor and ask what they think.
let us know the results!

Lol, I think it's funny that when nothing
is going wrong, we tend to assume
something is wrong!!
It seems to me that it's working like it
should -- exactly like it should. You
don't need to have side effects to know
it's working- many women never have any
side effects. It sounds to me like you
found your perfect birth control match!

Oh I should add- the chances that you are
taking it right and it is not working
(pill failure) is really really low, like
less than 1%.
