Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel
"I first started using Lutera about a year and a half ago for my first form of birth control. It was generally pretty easy to adjust to and I had no major side effects. A couple minor downsides were that it did not help my skin one bit. I was a little bit more emotional then usual and one major thing that affected me was that my sex drive was virtually non-existent. Overall I liked Lutera and was pretty easy to take and was very effective in helping moderate my period symptoms."
