have a pack of old ones - microgynon (experiencing bad pmt on them)

have 6 packs of new ones - celeste (GP says they're gentler)

have read a review site (remind me not to google) and reviews are rubbish .. but for both

have the option to just give up .. but then I risk getting serious cramping back and probably PMT .. and also won't have the flexibility of skipping 'periods' when I want

arrrgghhh .. make up my mind for me please

Was reading in the paper today that the Pill has been unfairly slagged off all these years

protects from ovarian cancer, doesn't raise risk of breast cancer

What are you worried about?

give it a go - if you do get any unwanted side effects, then you can just stop taking them, and they should be out of your system pretty quickly. it's not like having a mirena or depo, where it's harder to reverse the effects.
