24/4 pills: My favorites are the new 24/4 pills. They contain 24 active pills and 4 placebos compared to 21/7 pills. They have fewer side-effects and lighter periods due to the shorter hormone-free interval. You can Google "24/4 birth control pills" for a list. The selection of birth control pills is individualized so your doctor can give you specific recommendations for your situation. Best wishes
