karieredI currently take Desogen. I just got a script for Mircette that is supposed to be a lower dosage?
My dr said Mircette would be a lower dosage, but isn't this the exact same thing as the Desogen I've been taking?
What is the difference between Desogen and Mircette?

A relatively easy-to-use form of contraception
A very effective birth control pill
Lighter and regular menstrual bleeding
Less menstrual pain
A decreased risk of ovarian or endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus).
