Implant isn't covered by my insurance, thinking about the patch. Need help.

Hey ladies! So I've been with my partner officially a year as of yesterday and we haven't had any P in V sex because of some problems I've been having that we're working on. But, I've been thinking about birth control for a number of reasons. I was set on the implant because I didn't want to remember to take something every day as my schedule is usually all over. I have to go to a specialized obgyn because of my issues & the implant isn't covered by my insurance sadly. So, now I've had to look at other options. I don't want to do the depo as I feel that's a ton of hormones at once so I'm thinking about getting the patch instead. Advice? Stories? Help?
Also if it helps or matters my problem is pain during intercourse so we're thinking I had endo or vulva / vaginitis or something like that.
