the oral contraceptives with the best track record of supressing ovarian cysts have the higher ethinyl estradiol dose mixed in. Specifically, a 35 ug pill is more effecive than a 30 ug pill (though higher doses are not thought to be of further benefit). That said, the Ortho Novum 1/35 pill, or the Ovcon 35 pill are now available in very cheap generic form (ethinyl estradiol and norethindrone).
Your statement is simply way, way off, and you should really consult a better gynecologist.
