Hmmmm: Please discuss your birth control pill with your gynecologist or family doctor. Two consecutive packs should provide continuous contraceptive protection. However, throwing an EXTRA large dose of estrogens in was not necessary and is likely the cause of your symptoms. Talk to your doctor to explain this again.
