My wife felt the same way about the hormonal issues.
Before we got married we agreed that we didn't want to have children. Since we did not do anything for any kind of birthcontrol for many years, I finally decided that the risk to our lifestyle was too great, I would get a vasectomy. I wanted to guarantee that one day our lifestyle wouldn't change.
She herself changed her mind for some reason when I explored vasectomy as a method of permanent birthcontrol.
She's now on a pill that has a 3 month cycle. She loves it. Recently she said,"Thank you for helping make this decision. It is much easier this way."
YMMV.
