Rachel and Jen, I think it was earlier this month that there was a fairly long thread about BCPs - but the pertinant part here was the "tri" type of BCPs use a varying amount of hormone for each row of pills, Lower amnt at the start of the cycle, Not good for us! Usually too low to stop us from forming cysts, thus not helping with our symptoms (I'm pretty sure that's the correct gist of it). Other women have posted good things about ortho cyclen, though. Good Luck! Ivy
