Low sex drive & Depo
| Sat, 04-10-2004 - 3:27pm |
I just started depo for the second time and I've been having some horrible side effects. I have become very moody and even worse, I have had no sex drive. This is causing some problems in my relationship. My bf is great and tries hard to be understanding, but I feel bad that our sex life is suffering. I'm considering changing birth control methods once I'm due for my next shot and I'm looking to get some opinions on what might be the best choice to avoid these side effect. Thanks for any help!

I’m sorry you are having problems with Depo.
If you want to stay with a low maintenance hormonal method then you might want to consider NuvaRing. It's a small ring that is worn in the vagina for 3 weeks and removed for one for your period. It has the lowest dose of hormones of any method available in the U.S. A lot of posters to this board like the ring. Take a look at the NuvaRing site at http://www.nuvaring.com/Consumer/index.asp?
Good luck
