"i have been on this birth control for several years now. before levora, i took lutera, which is just a lower dose of the same types of hormones. i started having some breakthrough bleeding on lutera, so my doctor recommended a higher dosage. 

i haven&#039;t had any side effects with levora. my period usually lasts only 3 days with a light flow and minor cramps. (my period used to be unbearable with heavy flow and bad cramps.)"
