The percentages listed on the packages are with CORRECT usage. If you read all the fine print on the little inserts you'll find it. The percentage is higher for the pill.
Personally I have had some problems with it not being strong enough to hold off my periods. Finally the doc put me on a stronger one that I also took for 2 months at a time. Yes it did decrease my sex drive temporarily but with time and patience on hubby's part I'm hornier than ever since I don't have to deal with a period half as much and I don't have the worry nagging at me that I could get pregnant. I didn't have trouble with gaining weight. I did start out with the Progesterone only Pills POPs and liked them better but once I'd begun to wean my child I started to have trouble with regularity so went to the ones with Estrogen as well to control things. It's worth it to look into and the least invasive/permanant method. The shot has cause problems for everyone I know who has had it. The Pill is the easiest to regulate.
