Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel
"I started taking Lutera because I had bad cramps and my doctor recommended it. And it is by far amazing. I've been on it for a year now and I haven't gained any weight, I have less acne, and I don't crumple up on the bed for a straight week anymore! But for the past few months, the day I start my period week my emotions have been everywhere. Mostly with annoyance and frustration. I'd cry cause I couldn't get the lid off the jar of jelly. I would yell at someone cause they didn't hear what I said. It's only for the first few days I am on my period. (Sometimes it happens if I forget a day also.) Other than what is recent, Lutera is very good."
