trying to decide on BC options

well im a little over half way through my pregnancy now and im starting to once again think about my BC options. I have to decide if im going to try a hormonal method or go with a non hormonal method. I was on BC about 3 years and had all sorts of problems i never really did find one that worked and dident give me side effects. the main side effects that i had were No sex drive, No lubercation, paine full intercourse, Migraines, Mood swings, and depression. after i quit the bc my periods returned the next month but it took us almost 2 years to acheve pregnancy and it took probably about 6 months for me to start feeling like my old self though i still have problems with the lack of lubercation and painful sex. so do i give yet another kind of hormonal Bc a try or should i just go with something like a diaphram and condom combo.? what would you do if you delt with all that?

i guess i should say that i am planning on brestfeeding or im hoping to brestfeed for a year. So im a little concerned what taking a hormonal BC could do to the baby i know they say the mini pill(i believe is what they are calling it) is safe during brestfeeding but how mutch of that is the baby getting through my brest milk and what would it be doing to the baby.
