It depends on the BCP, some favor synthetic estrogen and some progestins. Check to see what your brands contains.
You should do a search on your specific brand. I was on yasmin and it basically stopped my natural hormone production. I did a search on Google and found TONS of forums about it having the same or worse side effects on other women.
