I need help figuring out a birth control that is right for me. I was on Seasonale for about 4 years, and had breakthrough bleeding quite often up until I went off of birth control for a while. Thus I do not think I want to go back to it, since the bleeding never decreased over time. Recently my doctor prescribed LoEstrin Fe, but because of the changed in policies, it has become FAR too expensive ($80/month). I am frustrated because it took my body so long to get used to Lo Estrin, and my body never really acclimated to 3 period-free months, that I need to choose another pill to keep my body from see-sawing. I need a pill that is inexpensive, has shorter, lighter periods (I appreciated the 4-day period on LoEstrin), without breakthrough bleeding and a ton of side effects. PLEASE help because the internet is a terrible and unhelpful place to research any drug.
