Hi, I have tried this over and over and over again, and everytime, just about all of them killed me.  I don't know what it is, but i've been on lunelle, and depo provera and birth control pills, anything and everything with hormones, and it just totally messes me up.  I'm thinking this must be a common problem, cause when asked about Birth control by dr's I mention that I have a thyroid problem, and they just say, oh well than you don't want anything with hormones.  In fact years before I was diagnosed with thyroid problems, I was on the depo shot and got very sick, as soon as I stopped taking it I got better.  I thought it was a reaction to the shot, but I think now it was how it reacted with my thyroid.  I have read websites and all have mentioned that in fact birth control can even create a thyroid problem, so you better check with your doc,  In my experience, I'd say be especially careful.  good luck
