From what my OBGYN told me, the symptoms you're talking about are due to changing levels of hormones. Are you on a triphasic pill where the hormone level changes each week? When taking the pill constantly (like I do), you take a monophasic pill, so the hormone dosage never changes, and therefore, you don't get those symptoms! I admit, it took trying a few different pills before finding one that worked for me (and that didn't make my skin break out), but it's been worth it. Having very small, very rare episodes of "spotting" is way better than having a period every month!
