Aviane and lutera should be the same for you, but if not you can always ask for lutera again.

Breakthorugh bleeding is actually extremely common, and should be expected by most women for the first month or two.. If you do expeeince btb than you should try and weather it out..

But, you hopefully should do well =)

thank you carifairy you always give me the best answers!! I didn't have any breakthrough bleeding with lutera thats why I was worried when t hey switched me..Thank you.

Carifairy, you seem to know a lot about this subject. I'm curious to know... I was taking estrostep for about 6 years and I decided to cut some of my costs. I have been taking cyclessa for about 4 or 5 months and I have terrible depression when I start the last week of my pills. I am not nor have ever been depressed, therefore I know it is the pill. I went on cyclessa once before about 4 years ago and the same thing happened. I can't take it, what should I do? Estrostep is so expensive. Do you think I should try another brand name that maybe my insurance will pick up? Could you recomend a brand that is similar to estrostep?
