A member asked:

Which are thebest oral contraceptives that contain low doses of norgestimate, gestodene, and desogestrel?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Oral bcp ?'s: Ask your gyn physician for his/her recommendation. There are many forms of low dose bcp's on today's market, and since your gyn doctor will be undertaking your care, it is best to follow advice from that source.
