Breakthrough bleeding on LOW DOSE birth control pills - needed higher Ovcon 35

I had breakthrough bleeding when I was on the low dose pills - it lasted
beyond the 3 month "adjustment time".
I switched to Ovcon 35, a slightly higher dose, and there's been no
breakthrough bleeding.
I take it continually, no break and it has been a genuine MIRACLE! I
suffered with excrutiating incapactitating pain with my monthly periods
from age 12 until age 37. I'm now 41 - I have ZERO pain... literally
ZERO pain!
Ovcon 35 taken with no break has given me complete relief! I have no
periods, therefore, no pain - it's been a miracle!
Before Ovcon 35, I tried about 6 other brands. All of the low dose
pills I tried as well as Seasonale (I think it's called Seasonique
now??)gave me breakthrough bleeding.
