Trying to find a pill

Right now I'm on a oral contraceptive that starts out with a low dose of hormones and slowly gets more as the month goes on. However my insurance does not cover that specefic brand so I end up spending $40 a month on it. I was wondering, does anybody know of any other pills that do that gradual increase of hormones so that I can look into and see if I am covered by them? I've tried looking up "estrostep similar" and such like that but I cannot seem to figure out how I would find a pill like that.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Google triphasic pills; http://www.emedicinehealth.com/articles/40786-5.asp has a small list of some.
Hope this helps. Also, generic pills will probably be cheaper than brand name pills e.g. yasmin is very expensive because it's brand name but microgynon in the UK is a lot cheaper.
Oh I have learned so much, I had no idea there were that many.
One more question I'll add to this one, I know for sure Ortho Tri Cyclen is covered, however I"ve heard it decreases your sex drive alot, known people with bad experiences. But I was wondering, since its generally the same type of pill I'm already on, there shouldn't be any more side effects, eh?
