Just a for your information post. Also includes what type of progestin is in each pill.

If you see a "Phase 1" "Phase 2" in the description, it means that the hormones fluctuate, in biphasic (2 phase) or triphasic (3 phase) cycles.

Any description without a phase is a monophasic pill that keeps hormone levels steady throughout the month.
