I've tried: Apri Junel Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and now Microgestin 1/20 (just picked them up) Now, with Apri and Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo i got my period every month, but my breasts were extremely tender and didn't get better. With Junel, I didn't get my period at all during the 3 months, but i didn't have any side effects. What I am going to try now, I understand, will be like Junel where it is "low estregen". It must be where if there is more of that my breasts get tender which is why those are working with my side effects. What I am wondering is if there is a pill that I might still get my period, but there is low enough estrogen that my breasts don't become sore. My pharmasist and doctor don't seem to help much when I ask about finding one that solves those two problems. Is there a "middle" between the normal estogen amount vs. the lower estrogen amount in the ones I have? I like to have my period because it relieves my worries, but tender breasts all month is really uncomfortable. Thanks! [/QB][/QUOTE]
