Are you using the lowest dose hormonal birth control possible? I was on ortho tri-cyclen for years and was an utter BEAST because of it. My doctor switched me to Aviane/Alesse (which is the pill with the lowest hormone dose available on the market) and I was better within one cycle. Different methods and doses of hormonal birth control will affect you differently. One pill is not like another and the ring or the patch are not like the pill.
Getting an IUD means finding a doctor that will give you one at your age, not having had kids. Medically, there's nothing contraindicated but old habits die hard for some docs.
