Progesterone Increasing Depression?

I have been on Desogen, Ovcon 35, Ortho Tri Cyclen, and currently am on
Lo-Ovral. My problem is that I've experienced terrible moodiness and
cycles of depression on all of them (especially OTC- that was the
worst!) I was reading about Yasmin and wondering if it could help, but I
was also wondering if increasing the progesterone would increase the
depression. I noticed that in most of the pills I've been on the
estrogen dose is between .30-.35 and the progesterone between.15-.30,
but on OTC the progesterone increased from .18 to .215 to .25 over the
three week cycle. This makes me wonder if the high dosage of
progesterone in Yasmin (it's 3.0 from what I've read) could cause
depression? If anyone has any thoughts I'd be glad to hear them! Thanks!
