I've been on the pill for the past nine months and I can honestly say the my mood swings are overwhelming and my sex drive minimal. I'm on low estrogen Lutera, but regardless I still have these side effects. I heard that fertility monitors can best a good alternative.
I have used a fertility monitor for the purpose of getting pregnant, so the general concept is the same with the exception of you would avoid sex during the time u were fertile.I would highly recommend u give it a try, it just may take u a few months to be able to ready the fertility monitor properly.
