Birth Control - Withdrawal bleed

[ast3040]

I guess this post is for some answers, statistics and some relief. I'm just starting my fifth month of a birth control called "Lolo". It is a 24 active day pill, 2 days of only progestin and the last two are sugar pills. My first month on the pill was perfect, I start on a sunday and my bleed came on a Thursday. The next month however, had a "withdrawal" bleed 2-4 days before my placebo pills, I was worried it was implantation bleeding. I stressed and stressed, took a test, it was negative and then got my next withdrawal bleed on time once again, the Thursday. I thought I finally got my pill figured out despite all my INSANE symptoms (weight gain, pelvic pain, mood swings, back pain, etc.). On my fourth month, I had sex 2 times BOTH WITH a condom, and he did not ejaculate inside of me. However, I've completely missed my withdrawal bleed. I'm really really tired of this anxiety and worry. I'm a week into my fifth pack, no bleed obviously but starting with some bad bad back pain. Is it normal to miss withdrawal bleeds? even on the fourth month? What are the statistics of pregnancy in this case? It's really frustrating that my bleeds are irregular, because this does nothing but drive me insane especially when being sexually active. Oh and I've also asked my doctors about switching, both said that this pill is a good one, and is the recommended contraceptive for young girls like myself nowadays.
