im a pro at breakthrough bleeding. has happened almost every month like clockwork a week after i stop my period. lasts for about 2 days, then stops.

i dont know if you remember my old posts about PCOS and my ovarian cysts and how I had a polyp inside my uterine wall that ruptured.... but I had breakthrough bleeding again. My doctor put me on this high estrogen pill called nortrel to stop my cysts. I expected the breakthrough bleeding but now its been 6 days! and last night it was the amount of being on my period. and then I talked to one of my aunts who had breast cancer and she said hers was directly caused by estrogen pills for birth control. so now im scared. I don't want to call my doctor because its my first month on these so maybe its just from switching pills but I have lost enough blood to make it be like Im on my period. and then im going to start again in a week. so 2 periods in 2 weeks.

I havent had any of the rupturing pains either. So I have no idea why Im bleeding. I want to stop birth control all together but then Im terrified of getting pregnant from using condoms. I have been on it for almost 5 years so I don't know why it would effect me this way. shouldnt it be fine after that long?

I have also had a horrible time trying to lose weight and I always gain it back even when I work out regularly and diet. Its like birth control is having nasty side effects on me out of nowhere. i dont know if im looking for advice or more just to vent. so any thoughts are welcome.
