Nuva Ring & BC

OK so my 6 week PP exam was 2 weeks ago and I was offered BC. I haven't taken it for years and to be honest I was overwhelmed at the many kinds to choose from. I decided to go with Nuva Ring since it seemed easy enought and most importantly I was told there were very minimal side effects and hormonal changes. WELL, ever since I started it... I have been over the top with sadness, depression, anger... I am picking on DH every SINGLE day. We are fighting daily (not that we haven't had reason to here and there) but I just won't let it go and I feel terrible. I cry and just feel so depressed. I am fine with the baby but overall I am so upset. I have to assume this is from the BC becuase I was fine before this. Has anyone else tried it and have you had the same side effects? I am thinking of getting off of it permanantly but I am so worried about trying something else since this onehad the lowest hormonal side effects, I am afraid to try anything else. DH and I would like to wait at least a yr. before trying for another....
Any feedback would be great! TIA

I refuse to take any hormonal birth control anymore, I haven't in atleast 3 years, I always had some sort of side effect. I say if you are 100% sure you want to continue on a hormonal BC try something different, they all have different effects on different people. Even though something has the lowest hormonal effects it just may not be for you. When I did take the pill it took a few to find one that was the most doable for me. I also used the patch and the ring.

I also did not like the side effects from hormonal birth control. Each person responds differently to different hormones, and as said above, just because it has the lowest amount of hormone doesn't mean it is right for you. If you don't want to use hormones, how about an IUD (without hormones) until you are ready to try again?
