BC Pill and Depression!

Hi!

I am looking to switch from the Nuvaring to a BC Pill. I had A LOT of side effects on the nuvaring and my boyfriend found it very uncomfortable during sex.

I am on anti-depressants and suffer from depression and the worst part about the Nuvaring was that it made me very fatigued and brough my depression back.

Does anyone know of any BC pills that are less likely to cause depression?? I can deal with other side effects, but I DO NOT want my depression coming back. I can't "wait it out" the 3 months either because it ruins my life.

Thank you so much for your help!!

Thank you for your post-it makes so much sense what you say and I know you are right-she has a lot on her plate and our little one runs her pretty good-our oldest in in school all day so at least she only has one around. It is just frustrating because while I understand how tough it is to be a SAHM and how much she does each day, I just feel like my feelings are ignored-kind of made to be unimportant which I don't think is fair. She always has time for the kids, her hobbies and friends, to volunteer at school, to do garage sales etc, but never seems to have the time or energy for me. I really feel like the low man on the totem pole. Maybe it is a phase but she has never had a high libido even before kids so I doubt much ever changes. As the kids get older, she will then start to hit menopause and I have heard horror stories about that. So, I guess I just need to grin and bear it and just take care of myself as best I can.
