Triphasil?

I used to be on Orthotricyclen-Lo (1.5 years) which was great in the beginning, but over the last six months or so, my libido has severely suffered. My doctor suggested Triphasil. I've been reading up on it, but most people have had terrible things to say about the pill. Has anyone had good experiences? Any input on possible side effects would be appreciated!

Thanks!

My old gyn said that it was a favorite of lots of his patients! You'll find, when you come to a place like this, that we don't talk about what we like, we talk about what we don't like! lol.. Some women do love Triphasil. I'm not one of them, but it's still a very popular pill with women who like it. It might help your libido because it's got a different progestin (you never know, sometimes that helps) and it's got more estrogen. You might notice more breast tenderness at first, you may have some bloating as your body gets used to it, and you may see some differences in your period because the hormones are different enough.

You'll never know unless you try! :)
