Birth Control Madness!!

Hi,
THis is my first time on this site but decided to turn to women for help on a woman's issue. I have two beautiful kids (boy 7 and girl 4) and is in my late 30's. My husband and I do not want anymore kids. I have had bad luck with most of the birth control methods I have tried. Ortho-tricyclen-lo/ BCP (spotting, cramping, moody, no sex drive). Nuvaring (burning and irritation after sex). Spermicides/Condoms(irritation). My husband and I are now using the withdrawl method (NOT SAFE) but my sex drive is back after a long time of up and downs hormones. We are so lost because my doctor don't know what to tell me. I just want some type of BC that will not have my body whacky. Can anyone offer any information? Desperate for any help we can get...We also considered a vasectomy and ESSURE but they are so permanent!! HELP!!!!
