No protection?

Shalyne
Hi ladies! 
So, my boyfriend is allergic to latex and I have lumps in my breasts that my lady doc says I cannot be put on a regular pills for preg protection if they have hormones, she suggested the 9$ ones at Walmart or target.. 
I have never been on a pill so have you used them and found them to be good? Let me know!! Pleaseeeeeee!
