Worried about Libido and mood swings

Hi there, I've posted this into another group, but feel this group might be more appropriate...

I've been on the combined pill for years now and have noticed that I don't have much of a libidio. It appears when I take my weeks break but disappears again when I start taking the pill. I've tried a progesterone only pill before (a purple strip) and my mood swings were record breaking!! I was awful, so angry and flippant all of the time. I'm thinking about a copper coil as I bled through my entire time with the Injection and had a very odd bleed every time after intercourse with the implant..

I'm happy to try other pills but I'm worried about the mood swings and lack of libido. I have never suffered with headaches or acne, so I'm not too worried about this.

Can anyone give some some advice with the type of contraception they're using?
