If you're BF your choices are pretty limited. You can only take the mini pill (progesterone only) as the combined one can mess with your supply. I was on Microlut and wasn't really a fan. I didn't get AF at all (which is good in a way but I am paranoid and don't want another surprise!) and I put on a few kilos.
DS is going to wean soon by the looks of it so I'm getting back onto the combined pill (what Raupe was describing) I was taking before I fell pg...Brevinor I think it was called. Suited me perfectly, no weight gains, bad skin or mood swings! And it eased my period pain and isn't expensive (about $25 per quarter).
The pill is a bit hit and miss, what works for some doesn't work for others. So I guess just start with one and see how it goes.

didn't know you where bf. Unfortunately combined pills (like mine) can mess with the supply due to the amount of hormones (and the type). Sorry! Maybe just go to your GP and talk about your options. They *should* know best what's out there and suitable for your situation! When I first got mine prescribed they said you can have different pills depending on the reason, other medication and so on. (Apperently you can get one that get's rid of your acne and stuff).
