birth control
"I am on my 3rd month and have had breakthrough bleeding half of the time except the week my period is supposed to be. I was put on this because I am in my 40's and the doctor said I should reduce my pill strength.  I've been using birth control pills for my entire adult life except for maybe 5 years when I was trying to get pregnant.  This non-stop bleeding is affecting my mood, my attitude, my attention span.  Based on all of the comments, either this pill works well after the first month or doesn't.  My doctor keeps telling me that it will just take time but there has been no change for the last 2 months.  I don't know how to convince my doctor that this is not the pill for me."
