Best Mini pill?

Hi!
I'm looking for some advice.
I've been taking cerazette for many years due to having really painful periods. This has really helped with the pain, however I have experienced alot of weight gain and headaches.
I came off cerazette for a bit and started losing weight and feeling generally better, especially with my headaches. However every month I was dreading the pain. I've tried Mefenamic Acid for the pain which did not help, the pain is so bad.
I'm considering going back on the pill, so wondered if there was any that is better than cerazette? My doctor has said they're all pretty much the same and doesn't recommend a combined pill as I'm a headache sufferer already.

I'm really struggling so any help would be greatly appreciated!

You could try a non desogestrel one. They have only a 3 hour window to take them. I'll see if I can find the brand names

Noriday and Norgeston seem to be the only other 2 that aren't desogestrel based
