Can anyone recommend me a contraceptive pill brand?

After stopping breastfeeding 6 months ago I went on microgynon which has been fine but I'm now getting pigment spots on my face which is apparently due to it.

What else can I take? I want to be prepared before I go to the GP. I have PCOS so can't take progesterone only pill. I have used Yasmin before but Dr Google says it isn't recommended any more.

Any ideas?

I take Loestrin 20. Its a low estrogen pill because i can't take microgynon and i can't take the progesterone only pill either.

I take Loestrin 30. I tried Microgynon but it didn't agree with me. I switched to Ovysmen but after a few years had breakthrough bleeding so changed to Loestrin.

these recommendations aren't much use, I'm afraid. We all have different body chemistries.

give your info to the person with the medical degree and see what they suggest that you try.
