"i had been on lutera for a little less than 3 years. i never experienced drastic mood swings, weight gain or acne. my periods were way lighter and less painful than before i started lutera. before birth control, i would throw up and be in uncontrollable pain for the first two days. now i have mild cramps on day one and that&#039;s it. when i went to pick up my prescription last week, i was given aviane instead of lutera and i am praying that nothing changes."
