I am 19yrs. old and just started taking birth control pills.  I have no \"female problems\".  My Dr. put me on Lo Loestrin FE 1-10.  This medication is too expensive for me is there a generic brand or another brand that is just as effective but, less expensive.
Hello dear. Understand your concern. Birth control pills contain 2 hormone estrogen & progesterone, some tablets contain any one hormone & some has combination. You can take it NY this generic name estrogen(ethiylestradiol) & progesterone(norgesterel, norethisterone, levonorgesterel, desogesrel, noroethin Chat Doctor. You can take combo or only one hormone pill. All are pretty good effective. Some brands are so cheap like male D, mala N, oral, ovral L, femilon, duoluton, diane 35,Yasmin....your age is less, according to me, you should not to use these tablets long term, there are option like diaphragm, or try to convince your partner to use condoms it's better for your future. Hope this will help you. Best regards, stay safe.
