i started taking lutera a year ago and it works great. my periods are not as long as thry were before maybe three days and it has helped with my migraines.

Every since I started Lutera, i have experienced on going breast tenderness, shortness of breathe, numbness of hands, pains in my arms, and severe cramping.
