When i first started on the pill, the nurse at family planning recommended Marvelon to me because I still had really irregular periods and also needed something to make my skin settle down a bit. It made my skin really good and all my ugly pimples went away really quickly. I actually found it to be really good and I didnt have any mood swings, weight gain, random bleeding or the other side affects people talk about with other pills. They told me it was also comparable to the Yasmin pill too. Marvelon was a bit pricey though - I think I was paying about $13 per month for it. I dont know whether there is a generic version of it or not.

I also used Brevinor and Norimin, which are the same thing. Norimin is just the cheapo version of Brevinor, and again, I had no side affects with either of those. Actually with Norimin it made my period really light and some months I had no bleeding at all and sometimes just a couple days of spotting instead of a full on AF. It was about $19 for a pack of 4 months worth.

I have also used Microlut which is a mini pill. It actually didnt agree with me and made me feel nauseous all the time so I abandoned it after about 2 or 3 months.
