I am confused because my prescriber made it sound like if you are on the pill, when you have your period it’s not a “real period.” Therefore, I assumed it wasn’t possible to have PMS. I guess she didn’t explain it very well. :(

Sounds like you’ve been on this one long enough to know it’s not really giving you what you want, so I’d second that doctor suggestion.
