Hi there! Oh, that doesn't sound good at all. I mean, I'm no doc, but that's got to be awful for you. I know I went through a phase where I had to switch pills about 5 times in 1 1/2 yrs and I did have break through bleeding, but nothing too heavy. And that is why he kept switching me. He'd keep me on one for about 3 months at a time to kind of ride it out and see.... I'm not sure if your having huge clots if that's normal. Headaches, I think that's kind of common when switching. I'd give your doc a call and just make sure. He/she may want you to wait it out a couple more weeks. Are you having any cramping as well?
