IUD and libido
16
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?

Thank you for any reply. :-)

Because the guy can feel the string, it's not a good idea to use a condom with it, right? It could 'break' the condom, right?

I guess I never thought about it, but it might happen. Not sure why you'd need a condom with an IUD in place, unless your practicing safe sex.

The reason I would use a condom even though I have the IUD is so I have less "mess" to deal with afterwards and the next few days. Unless someone out there has any suggestions in regard to the "mess". *grin*

It's kind of hard to swallow when it isn't in my mouth...


I was talking about a mess down below. LOL.
