Hello all! 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.

lutera: side effects: heartburn/cancer
hello,
i have been taking Lutera for a week and a half at night before i go to bed. Since starting Lutera-28 i have had trouble falling asleep, anxiety, and heartburn. And extremly tired. Are these common side effects? Also, in reading the leaflet that comes with the drug it mentions Liver Cancer, am i at risk if both my mom and maternal grandmother died of liver cancer, by taking lutera-28 am i placing myself at a higher risk for developing liver cancer?

Lutera Birth Control
I have been taking it for a week and have felt moody, needy, tired, I got a yeast infection, leg cramps and my breast hurt. It sucks but I do feel like the side affects are starting to get better so I am going to give it a try for another month then see what it does. Also I have been really hungry and I usually am the opposite.
