I can't take estrogen because I bleed every day of the month and get migraines. So all estrogen pills are out for me. I've been on every orthos available in the US, plus others and the minipill to boot, but all contain too much estrogen for me to have any real quality of life.
BUT! I've been on the depo shot (one shot every 3 months) for 6 years. Costs less than the pill (about $160 a year) and my last period as a result was August 1999! I went on it not as birth control, but to control the pain from endometriosis. It's worked 100% for both (no period=no pain and also no pms, yeaaa!!), and I highly recommend it!!
