Hello,
DESOGESTROL containg birth control pills are referred to as third generation birth control pills.
Since they contain less estrogen hormone content,it causes miminmal headache,migraine,weight gain.
Considering your history of depression and anxiety DESOGESTEROL is ideal to be used by you for contraception.
Thanks
