I agree with Sheila. Increasing estrogen will only make bleeding worse, not better. Are you sure you didn't mishear her and she didn't say to increase progesterone?
So... If your bleeding was fine and regular when you were on sequential and now you are getting this bleeding when moved to continuous, it would really suggest that it's too early for you to go to continuous.
Women go through menopause at different rates and at 49, you could very well still be in peri-menopause. In which case, you are very likely to get break-through bleeding if moved to continuous too soon.
You say the reason you were moved was due to 'mood changes and fatigue' - but that's not a reason to move to continuous. Being on continuous or sequential doesn't better manage those kind of symptoms(!!). Otherwise everyone would be wanting to go on continuous...! Instead, it sounds like you were getting some of your low estrogen peri symptoms returning and you probably just needed an increase in estrogen - but to stay on sequential.
So if I were you, I'd go back to sequential but increase the estrogen to 3 pumps. Ta da.
