IUD and libido
| Mon, 09-27-2004 - 12:58pm |
I've been taking birth control pills for almost 3 yrs and now my libido is gone! I'm gonna switch to IUD, but I wanna know if the IUD lower the libido at all, even the one with the hormones (MIRENA,I think).
Anyone who has an IUD right now have any problems with low libido?

>> Can you do all the crazy sexual possitions and use sex toys and all that with an IUD on?
I don’t think there should be any problem with positions. The IUD itself is totally inside the cervix with only the strings protruding. With toys you might want to watch that the IUD strings don't get caught in a part of the toy so that when the toy is removed it pulls on the strings. I'm no expert on what toys are out there but one toy that comes to mind is Ben Wa Balls that are connected by a string. While IUD strings usually soften and wrap around the cervix it seems to me that there is the possibility of the IUD strings and the cord connecting the balls might tangle... just a thought. You’ll let us know what you decide, right?
Take care,

I think you should be able to carry on with your normal sex life and use of toys. I would just talk to the doctor who will be inserting it. I know my doctor told me that he cut the strings a bit shorter than normal so there would be less of a change that a tampon might accidentally catch on the strings and pull the IUD out.
Good luck and let us know how it goes!

But if it doesn't get any better I will definately talk to my doctor about it.
