"Monique Y. Mudama" had some very interesting
things to say about What Do you do? A Poll:

What are these phases of which you speak? Are you talking about
variable-dosage pills?
Yeah, there's 3 different strengths spread out over the month instead of the
same strength the whole time. It keeps the dosage lower when all that extra
isn't needed. -- Britta
Interesting. I talked to my doc and she said that variable-dose pills were
more a marketing gimmick than anything else. If my current pill (Yasmin)
continues to cause me trouble, though, I'll look into them.

I strongly disagree with your doctor. I had much less trouble with
side effects on three-phase.
