In the past I have found this site to be very informative and helpful: http://www.sexualityandu.ca
Among other things, there is a long list of FAQs regarding birth control pills, as well as an application called "Choosing Wisely" which may be useful to you (it suggests birth control methods based on your answers to a few questions about your medical history and lifestyle).
Hope that helps.
