I can't find a type of birth control to suit me!

I've been on Ortho-cyclen, Ortho-tri-cyclen, Ortho-tri-cyclen Lo, Nuvaring. The types I have not tried was progesterone only, shots, IUD, and implants.
Nuvaring was my latest and that was the worst experience I have ever had. Every single type I have used, I have had the same symptoms: nausea, headaches, dizziness, irregular cycles, spotting, weight gain, and mood swings. Since May of this year, I have been doing it naturally, but I am still trying to figure out when I ovulate...very frustrating.
So about me: I have polycystic ovaries, Reynaud's Disease, PID, had a miscarriage on July '10, moderate to severe acne, regular cycles with little PMS symptoms, will be getting married possibly Sept '12 or March '13 and will be TTC then.
What type of birth control would be best suited for me?...maybe anything to help my acne?

Thank you very much for the advice ladies! I do plan to TTC within a year or so, so that's a big issue for me. I am looking to a temp birth control for that very reason.
Sammie: I never tried Beyaz before. A schoolmate of mine was on Yaz and had a pulmonary embolism with it, which scared me away. I'm going to look up info about Beyaz and see how they changed it from the original. Thanks for the help!

I'm not sure if you want to use a pill or not,but I noticed you said something about acne.I have been taking Beyaz and it helps alot for moderate acne plus it has calcium in the pill which is good if your just looking for a temp, birth control and want to become pregnant soon after stopping so you'll have calcium in your body already.

sounds like uhave tried a lot and they don't agree with u? If u will b tryin for baby again soon u should just use condoms bcoz sum birth controls take time 2 get out ur system after stoppin takin them and it will alreayy b bit harder for u 2 concieve due 2 your pcos but happy marriage and all the best with ur baby dreams :-) x
