Hey i'm new here and was just wondering if anyone has had any of the same experiences I have had or could offer some feedback on the birth controll pill lutera...
I got an iud (meraina) put in about 5 months ago, and paid the full $600 for it (urgh) and over the first month developed hideous side-effects... Intercourse became extreemly painfull, (kinda felt like my bf was wearing a condom made of sand paper, when infact he was wearing nothing at all). I felt a constant need to urinate (not in a uti way, i've had one of those... The feeling wasn't that extreem, just a general discomfort) and I turned into an evil monster-woman for, almost the entire time I had it. I just had it taken out today and am hoping for the symptoms/side-effects to ease up...
Now my gyno has put me on lutera as my method of birth controll and I am a little bit concerned to take it... Has anyone else started taking lutera after their primary form of birth controll contained progesterone and not eastrogen?? (<--- i'm sure I just spelt that wrong) is there anyone who is on lutera at all? Does it work well, are there any hideous side-effects? I've read the little information booklet, but sometimes they don't add all possible side effects (the info that came with the iud didn't tell me that intercourse could become extreemly painfull...)
thanks heaps :)
