Yet another pill question

I came off the pill when I broke up with my long term boyfriend, as I knew I'd be using condoms if and when I ever had sex again and didn't like the idea of continually pumping hormones into my body for no good reason. However, I had sex recently for the first time in several months, and had a bit of an mishap and had to go get the MAP. I've decided that this doesn't bode well seeing as that was the first time in ages, and I want to make sure I'm protected properly by going back on the pill.
Anyway, that's not really relevant, just a bit of background. I was on Microgynon 30 before and although it seemed ok for me, I think it made me a bit moody and uptight all the time. Is that common with this pill? I know it might have been my imagination or just because I was stressed anyway, but I do know I've felt a lot calmer since coming off it so I'm reluctant to go back on it again. A few of my friends are all on Cilest and they say it's really good and doesn't give them moodswings or anything at all - can anyone offer any opinions?
Thanks!
Edited to add: I've already got a doctors' appointment booked, I'd just like a few laywomen's opinions as well.
