Low Progestin (or /Less Progestin-dominant) Pills?

[mizvespa]

Every high progestin pill I take makes my appetite go into overdrive and puts 5-10 lbs on me. I tried ovcon-35 a while back & since it is lower progestin, I gained no weight and had no increase in appetite. However, the estrogen was too high and I had horrible headaches, nausea & depression from it. Can anyone recommend a lower-progestin, lower or mid-range estrogen pill? I do not have the best obgyn. She short, vague answers when i ask questions about different pills. The nuvaring caused no side effects but chronic bv, so I can't go through that again.

I appreciate any suggestions!

triphasic alternatives: ortho tri cyclen lo
