-- Remember that all progestins have different potencies and that when the milligrmans vary you have to take into consideration their potency, androgenicity and even if they have an anti-estrogen effect. Yasmin caused depression for me though. It tood me a whole year to figure this out. I would go with something with a low estrogen and low progestin. Alesse or Mircette are good choices. Ask you doc. Hopefully this web site will help. Take Care andGood Luck to all.
