side effects of birth control pills

I'm wondering if anyone else has had difficulty with taking brith control pills. I've been taking Desogen for 3 weeks now and have been feeling very depressed and irritable the past few days. I got some news on Tuesday that my cycle was going to have to be postponed by 4 weeks because DH's urologist (for TESE) decided to go on vacation during egg retrieval after calendar had been set. Of course, I'm feeling very disappointed but the past few days, I have been crying a lot and sleeping all day today. I'm supposed to be off the pills for one week after tomorrow's pill but then need to start them for 3 more weeks before my cycle. I can't help but to think the birth control pills are making me so down. Anyone else felt like this when on BCP's? Maybe I need to change to another one? I'm dreading starting another packet.
