Probably... Honestly, if both can suppress ovulation equally well, then I honestly don't think progestin-only should exist either, or at least be prescribed in any case except where the woman using it is already estrogen dominant. (And honestly, I REALLY wish they'd stop using progestins altogether and start tossing some real progesterone in the combined method!!)
Though we maybe ought to best just be being prescribed estradiol and/or pc for bc, in whatever individual doses would be safest for US.
I don't think enough doctors really care enough, and we all know the bcp mfg's don't actually care.
