Anti-androgen

Hello,

I'm trying to decide on a good birth control pill for keeping my cycles regular and for pregnancy prevention as well.

I've had very negative effects in the past with Triphasil, Orthocyclen, Orthocept, and Orthotricyclen. I've read about newer ones available, such as Yasmin.

My concern is with the anti-androgenic effect. Clearly, androgen has negative effects such as acne and migraines, but women could definitely use its positive effects. Is there a birth control pill which is NOT anti-androgenic?

Thanks for your responses in advance.

-AE
