I've been on Lutera for almost a year now, and I really like it. I was on ortho lo before that, and I had the worst nausea. My doctor switched me to Lutera, and the side effects issue has been MUCH better.

No, I haven't noticed any change in eating habits, per se. I still get a little bit of nausea now and then, but it's nothing like it was before when I was on ortho lo....

Some bcp's can cause an increase in appetite.

I have noticed a change in my eating habits. I can't really get full either. I've been on Lutera for month and two days now.

I'd wait a month or two more and see if the appetite increase goes away.
If it doesn't, I'd switch because you could end up gaining weight.

I've been on Lutera for almost a month now and have noticed some increase in appetite. I thought maybe it was just me, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. Other than that though it's been great so far - I may have gained a few pounds, but my weight tends to fluctuate, so it's hardly noticeable.
