I don't understand how different progestins are measured. Does Ortho Cyclen have more or less progestin and/or androgenic possibility than Alesse? (Ortho Cyclen: norgestimate .250 mg / ethinyl estraciol .035 mg - Alesse: levonorgestrel 100ug / ethinyl estradiol 20ug) Also, is norgestimate and levonorgestrel both new generation progeston, thus both being equally good for acne? I broke out on Ortho Tri-cylen but didn't on Alesse. Should I go back to Alesse or should I try Ortho Cyclen or will Ortho Cyclen just cause more acne than Tri-Cyclen as it has more norgestimate?
