We;re trying something new since I was having painful breasts and acne with regular birth control pills.  The doc now wants me to take Mircette birth control pills except take the active pills every day like HRT.  Has anyone had experience with this?  I'm 46 and thought I was menopausal at 42 but now know that the way I was diagnosed probably was misleading and it was probably just flaming perimenopause.
