Q: Little Or No Progesterone Birth Control Pill?

Anyone that has any information please respond, the smallest amount is appreciated.

I started my journey about 10 months ago on yasmin, and it caused all the worst symptoms: suicidal thoughts, depression, fatigue, moodiness, etc.

I came off of it and felt wonderful.

I started ortho tri cyc lo and the second night I thought I was having a bloodclot, third day I had to leave class and walked home crying.

I had a gyno appointment a few weeks ago, and concluding the symptoms I gave him, he told me I was one of the rare few very allergic to progesterone, considering yasmin has a completely different prog called drsp. He told me it would be medical malpractice to prescibe another bc pill.

Problem is, my boyfriend and I have completely stopped having intercourse. We have done so maybe twice since april, because he's fearful of using just a condom. He wants two forms of protection. Although he is just being safe, it severely frustrates me because he does not cum inside the condom until after he has pulled out of me. I usually give him a handjob for him to ejaculate.

I understand there is precum, but if he is using a condom all the time and not ejaculating in me, I dont see the harm.

But my question is I really want a pill, but what can I possibly tolerate?

I do not want a ring, patch, iud or any other form. I considered the diaphragm and frankly it's just not for me.

I want a pill and only a pill (and a condom of course).
Is there an estrogen-only pill?

Has anyone had this problem?

Please reply.

I had problems with hormones.. You are not actually allergic, but that's how they describe it..I cannot tolerate hormones at all, and I have an iud...

There are no estrogen only birth control methods..I have also been on 26 different pills , so I know for sure what I cannot handle.
