A member asked:

Days i did not have bleeding were only 4 wks since august. changed pills twice this year. to stop pill can be solution? tired of too much bleeding

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Too much: You may be better off with a minipill if this heavy bleeding is an estrogen-related effect. It's possible a Gyne-Endo specialist can sort this out for you, but trial and error can be time consuming and not satisfying. See your OB and take the next step !
