..Well i think its the combined one! i could be getting them mixed up.
Can anyone give me some info on this, i used to be on the normal pill, was on microgynon and cileste, What is the difference between these and the combined pill cos the doctor said to me that the comined pill will be less likely to cause me bleed twice in a month? Thank u

combined pills have both oestrogen and progesterone in. this is the kind of pill most women take.
the othe type of pill is the 'mini pill' which only contains progesterone. these are less common, and you HAVE to take them at the same time every day, but they're useful for women who can't tolerate the oestrogen in the combined pill.
I should really be a mod :rolleyes:
Hope that helps!
I've been on it for nearly a year, what do you want to know?
