I'm totally sold on Seasonale. Hubby will tell you that some other BC's caused me trouble with more emotional ups and downs as well as many migranes. Seasonale is a low estrogen dose pill. At one point I took POP's for my BC and it affected my moods the least I think. It didn't prevent my migranes - thus the switch.
Discuss this with your health professional. You can try something with a low dose of estrogen or higher dose of estrogen and see how it does. It will take a couple months for your body to adjust to the hormone levels so don't expect an improvement overnight. From what I understand - going off the pill - depending on how long you've been on it and what type it can take up to 6 mo to be able to get pregnant if you are trying. That suggests that the other effects of the pill could last that long as well.
Whatever you do you should speak to your Dr and discuss your options before changing or switching things.
Hubby and I used condoms or spermacides (found that those were sometimes quite physically irritating to both of us), and rhythm when we first started having sex. We actually went for about a year and a half before I got pregnant. That only happened because we weren't being seriously careful about it. It wasn't a bad time for us to have a kid at that point so preventing one wasn't that important to us.
