My pill, Loestrin 30, is out of stock with no restock date. This is panicking me as I've been on it years as I had terrible PMS and painful periods. I've looked online and there is no equivalent so I don't know what I'm going to do if it's unavailable or discontinued.
I've tried various others, Microgynon, Cilest and Cerazette are the ones I can remember, and they all gave me terrible mood swings. I don't want to be put on a pill just because it's the cheap option so can I ask the doctor for one that doesn't contain the same ingredients as the ones above?
To complicate things, I've got a holiday booked in the US just after my Loestrin finishes. I don't want to be a hormonal wreck due to a different pill or not being on it altogether so do you think the doctor would agree to me trying a new one when I've still got some Loestrin left and going back onto it for the holiday if I'm having problems?
Sorry this is so long and thanks for any advice in advance.
