Birth Control Pill...

Hi everyone, I'm new here and i have a problem that I don't really know where else to turn to with..

I'm 21 and I had been taking the same Birth Control Pill since I was 15... All of a sudden i started noticing i was getting a lot more mood swings than before, and i would spot between periods..

so I told my doctor a few weeks ago and she switched me to another brand.. I've been on those ones for a week and a half and since I've started them I'm always in a bad mood and i have a lot of headaches..

I'm really getting sick of being cranky all the time, and I think my friends and family are getting a bit tired of it too.. I would like to speak to my doctor about it, but she is pretty hard to reach other than to make an appointment which would only be in a month or two anyways..

I'd stop it and start up again on my previous one on my next period but i don't want those other problems to start up again but then again i can't stay cranky like this..

UGH.. Being a woman can sure be frustrating sometimes..
