I didn't realise that 30mcg of estrogen was considered "low-dose" until I looked it up then. I always thought that was considered high and pills such as Alesse and Mircette with 20mcg of estrogen were the low-dose pills. :confused:

Pills with a level of estrogen 50mcg are considered high-dose... I can find that out but I am unable to find any named examples, other than Ovral or Ovral®-28.

The lowest amount of estrogen you can take would be best. Usually the high-dose pills are not prescribed until you have had definite trouble with breakthrough bleeding, so your doctor will probably want to wait and see of the problem solves itself before putting you on a higher-dose of estrogen. Usually you have to wait three cycles before a change is made. If things are not better by then they probably won't get to be.

I thought Ortho-tri-cyclen had 35mcg of estrogen maximum, but then the ortho-tri-cyclen LO had less... maybe 25mcg. I may be wrong...
