low dose OCP recommendations

I'm trying to find a low dose oral contraceptive pill that suits me and so far haven't had much luck. It's got to be low dose as at my age I'm high risk of blood clots for 6 months post natally.

I stopped Diane/Juliet as I discovered it had 7 times the clot risk of most pills.

I'm taking Microgynon 20ED but am getting mood swings, bloating & weight gain. It's just like being pregnant again!!!!

My doctor is just going to keep trying me on different ones til I find one that suits me but I would appreciate some recommendations of low dose pills that have worked well for you.
