Q: Pill Vs. Iud

Latex condoms make me itch. I hate them. I struggle with depression. When I have taken the pill in the past, I tried ortho tri-cyclen and some other brand that was a very high hormone dose. They made my breasts swell to a dd, I gained 10 pounds, I was moody and depressed and cried all the time sometimes for no reason. I stopped taking the pill. I went to a couple different gynos. And talked to my regular doctor. I was trying to get them to let me have an iud. They keep saying "you haven't had a baby yet, your uteran walls don't have enough room, it will hurt, blah blah blah" but what am I to do? My mother and a lot of her friends had iuds in their early to mid 20's before they had children and they all survived. My boyfriends best friend just got married and his new wife has an iud. Never been pregnant. So why are these doctors trying to force me into a young pregnancy??? I just want a kind of birth control that doesn't have to pump me full of hormones. If I have trouble with condoms, then what does that leave me with? I am about to try a very low hormonal pill tomorrow. Alesse-28. I hope everything stays in balance. Can anyone perhaps reccomend a supplement or viatamin that would even out some mood swings?
