The Right Pill

I've had a disastrous experience with birth control pills, I have tried three different kinds; tricyclen (awful! every week i felt more and more depressed) ortho cyclen ( better, because it was one level, still felt mildly depressed all the time) yasmin (worst of them all, i wanted to die I felt so bad and depressed).

What can I try next? I've been thinking about Yaz OR the NuvaRing both are low dose hormones I think but I'm so scared. My boyfriend is really upset that I feel this way on birthcontrol and for the time being we are using condoms but I like the comfort of knowing that I have more percentage of not getting pregnant and that my period is regular and light. Also, it helps my pms/pmdd. So I would prefer to be on something.

Anything you can suggest?
