For some reason my internet seems slow today and I'm having trouble finding exact dosages on the particular pills you mention. The MinOvral is actually called Norette in the U.S. The Alesse seems to have Levonorgestrel as it's particular formula of progesterone. Of the different kinds of pills I've taken in the past 4 years I've taken Desogestrel, and Norethindrone for the progesterone formulas and I'm currently on Seasonale which contains Levonorgestrel. It seems that the Seasonal has improved my mood and libido over the others besides the fact that I have fewer periods with it. I hope this works well for her. I have not had any negative side effects with it.

One key has been the relation of the progestrone to the estrogen in the tablets. In the Seasonale the dosages are levonogestrel 0.15mg, ethinyl estradiol 0.03mg. In the other pills the progestrone has been lower.

I hope this works for her. Give it time to take effect and if it doesn't help, don't give up. Encourage her to try something else. There are many kinds out there and everyone has their own best formula. Good Luck.
