If you have taken it 4 consecutive months and are having irregular periods then you may need a higher dose of estrogen. You could try Femcon FE. I will tell you that you sound very estrogen sensitive. Loestrin24 is the lowest dose pill available (20mcg) if you switch to something else you may experience more side effects like breast tenderness, nausea, headaches. I would take the loestrin 24 for one more month. Take each pill at the same time every day. Don't skip any. If you have to set an alarm as a reminder. Also, keep in mind if you are taking other medications with a birth control pill you could make the pill less effective. This could cause irregular bleeding!!! Stick it out another month and see with happens!
I know what you are going threw i have been on it for a year now and my periods have not been the same.I usually have it for 1 or 2 days then 3 weeks in the same month my breast are also swollen and hurt all the time.And i also dont want to switch birth controls because of the two combining together.
