Weird Cycle

OK just wondering if anyones had any similar experiences with going on the pill?
I went on the pill last October (microgynon) and it was fine, but when I split up with my ex, I stopped it.

Then about 2 months ago I went back on it cos I needed the contraception and it was fine for a bit, but I ran two packs together and this messed it up it seems!
Just under half way through pack 2, I started having slight bleeding, but it lasted over 2 weeks and was making me feel rubbish!

Went to the docs monday, she gave me a different pill (binvoum) and told me it'd stop the bleeding.

BUT binovium has made me feel really weird! Such bad and quick mood swings and the bleedings got worse, its like a proper full on period now, with cramps and all!

Is this normal? I dont wanna go back to the docs so soon if its just a silly thing, but its driving me mad now!!

Just wondering if anyones had anything like this happen to them before or anything?

Ta guys :smile:

This is why i'd never stop Microgynon now.
I think you should go back to your doctor, if she said the bleeding would stop and it hasn't you need to figure out whats up.

Hiya, I think your pretty normal really. Basically, all the different pills either have different hormones or different amounts of the hormones. Some of the pills suit some people and others don't. You just haven't found the pill for you yet. I would suggest that if it's seriously affecting your life that you do go back to the doctor and explain that it's just not working for you and then they will probably put you on another pill. I would have thought that they would tell you to stay on the pill your on until your break and then after the seven days start the new one. I was on microgynon 30 because I had very heavy unpredictable periods and it didn't work for me at all, I ended up having a 7 week period (it changed flow everyday and was horrendous). The doctor put me on to eugynon 30 and this one worked really well for me but then they stopped making it. Then I was put on Normin and it works for me ok, no where near as good as eugynon but I can cope with it lol. There's nothing weird about you don't worryxx
