Any: However, choosing a birth control pill will mostly depend on other things form your history, such as if your periods are heavy or light, an acne you might have and possibly your weight sometimes. Trust your doctor on this and if it doesn't work out he can readjust to the pill just for you.

Oral contraceptive: A combined oral contraceptive, consisting of both estrogen and progesterone, is the gold standard prescription method for regulation of an irregular menstrual cycle. You would need to talk with your health care provider to ensure you do not have any health issues that would contraindicate you from using this method.
