Most combination pills offer the same % protection (about 99.3 with perfect use), the "mini-pill" is slightly lower, but many women use it because it's a better choice for them, and still have great (safe) results. Make an appointment with your doctor and (s)he will do a family history and form that decide which pill to perscribe for you.
Good luck

There are so many pills out there.It would be hard to say which one is the best.They all ,for the most part ,have good and bad things about them.You may have to try a few before you and your doc find one that is right for your body.In the meantime,you say that you are in a new relationship.Are you both mutually exclusive(not sleeping with others)????This is very important-maybe more important than what type of pill you should be on!I would want to know that my new partner is healthy and faithful before we had any skin-to-skin contact!!That's just me-maybe i'm too cautious,but I would want to know my partner's sexual history before any sex took place.A real romance killer,for sure,but we are talking big,bad viruses here.I know that a lot of you will say that it's overkill,but if you have never seen what hiv can and does do to a person-you cannot imagine what an awful thing it is.Just a little food for thought-do with it what you want.Patty

I often wonder this also. I went on orthotricyclene about 5 years ago cuz of the acne ads (saying that its supposed to help). Since then i've had ppl tell me that all bc pills help with acne due to the hormones that r in them. So I don't know either, but I wish there was a site or something that compared all of them. I am currently on the the generic of ortho. Cuz it costs less w/ my insurance.
