What kind of birth control can I use that doesn't have estrogen? High blood pressure...?

I have some high blood pressure so my Dr advised me not to use the usual birth controls- such as Marvelon, because it can increase the risk for stroke. I'm only young- 25, so this shouldn't happen, but is there kinds out there that are safe for me? I know, I need to ask the Dr, and I will, but I'm just wondering what different ones you all know about. (Using condoms for now, but don't really like them!)

The progesterone only pills. The Mini-pill.

Also you could use Depo-provera. Because it is also only progesterone, but if you don't like the side effects of Depo-Provera you can't just stop taking it. You have to wait for it to wear off.

they make progesterone only pills...it's also called the "mini" pill...ask your ob if they offer that type of pill.
