You must like the progestin Norgestimate in the ortho-tri. it is suppose to be low in androgens, lower than desogestrel also. You cant get a norgestimate mini pill in the US yet, and I dont know if there is one overseas. maybe. I havent had any luck with birth control it always messes up my estrogen. my doctors are clueless idoits when it comes to hormones and its not their fault, so isnt everyone else. its so hard to figure out how to balance them. Having PCOS tho you dont want to take a pill with high estrogen because it will worsen your weight gain and cause you to feel like a fat piece of shit and it will make you stomach and inner thighs bigger and you will feel gross! The most important thing is that you feel good. I feel like crap ill let you know when i design a drug that works cause so far ive been on everything and it only gets worse. sorry :(
