Alternatives to pill

I have been having issues with the birth control pills I have been using for almost 4 years (since my last child was born). I have very little libido (interested maybe every 7–10 days, a real mismatch from my husband's interest, which is 2–3 times a week). In addition, my eczema has gotten progressively worse since my starting this pill. I would look into IUD's but since I had vaginal varicose veins in my last pregnancy and I am very sensitive inside (I had pelvic pressure for a week after my last pap smear, and intercourse is often uncomfortable) I don't think I am a good candidate. I am just wondering what my options are for birth control…I am planning to visit a new gyno to discuss this more, but until now my obgyn discouraged switching methods if this one was working without breakthrough bleeding, etc. My question basically is if barrier methods are always asur or is there any room for heter? thanks.
