Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood the concern. Withdrawal method has high failure rate though from your menstrual history it is evident that you are likely to be experiencing irregular ovulation. Any combination oral contraceptive pill, especially pills like Yasmin ans Althea are good for you, but, the recommendation should be done after a proper clinical evaluation by a specialist to see if you are a suitable candidate. Also, maintenance of a normal weight along with regular exercise will help to regulate ovulation and hence the cycles. Hope this helps.
