Both are safe and effective to use to regulate your period. There are many types of Birth Control pills and some only contain progesterone (POP's) and some are combinations of progesterone and estrogen. Progesterone only pills are still birth control pills. Birth control pills, containing progesterone only or a combination of progesterone and estrogen will regulate your period and protect your from pregnancy! However, you must take your pills everyday and at the same time, otherwise your period will not regulate and you will put your risk of becoming pregnant. For further information on which type of pill is right for you, you must visit a physician (example; Planed Parenthood), and they will choose which method is right for you.

If you are a Sunday starter on Ortho Tri-Cylen Lo when will you get your period?
If you start your birth control on Sunday, it is not uncommon for your period to come slightly later than 28 days from the period in which you based your Sunday start. Your period will occur any time between 22-28 days from when you started the Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. The progesterone component of the birth control is what prevents you from having your period. The withdrawal of the progesterone (which starts with the placebos) causes the endometrium to become unstable and thus bleeding occurs. So, if you started the birth control a few days after your period, you may extend the time until your next period because you are supplementing progesterone for a few extra days than your body is used to and so menses won't occur until after the progesterone is removed (and the placebos are started).
