I have female pattern hair loss and I'm sure I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome as I have all the symptoms so I want to take the contraceptive pill to lessen the symptoms. My question is, will any combined contraceptive pill be effective in lessening my problems like Microgynon 30 ED® which contains ethinylestradiol 0.03mg / levonorgestrel 150mcg or will only a pill containing ethinylestrodiol (oestrogen) and an anti-androgenic progesterone like Yasmin and other low-dose combined oral contraceptives with minimal androgen effect containing ethinylestrodiol and desorgestrel, gestodene or norgestimate work for me? It's just that pills containing levonorgestrel or norethisterone are cheaper :( will they not help me? do I need to buy Yasmin or Gedarel??
