Contraception over 40 - does anyone take the pill?

Are there any women over 40 who take the pill? And if so which one? I took Marvelon at one time but it increased my PMT terribly. I also used to take Dianette which was useful for acne - but this was 20 years ago!

I haven't taken the pill for 20 years - it made me even more miserable than usual! I've found the ordinary copper coil brilliant. Once it's there I forget about it. That's not much help if you still want to take the pill. I did ask about the pill after dd# was born, and I would have been on the same one as I took as a teenager! I'm now 40'ish.
