I saw this briefly the other night while watching tv. I don't remember the name-- something like loestrogen24. You only have your period for three days while on this. I'm wondering if this pill would help with my lack of desire to have sex and to help with my angry moods or whatever all the time. Thank you!

Hi Jill!
Thank you so very much for the warm welcome back. I really appreciate you being able to find the correct name of this bc pill and for the web site related to it-- as well as all the info. You are very knowledgable!

To answer your question: I'm on Reclipsen tab now (since the mail order pharmacy I use does not carry Apri) I'm going to my gyn. in a couple months and will ask of this new pill... just curious ahead of time it it would help with my moods and low libido. Further thoughts? Thank you again, Jill!

Other than having a shorter period because you take fewer sugar tabs, the hormones are the same as the loestrin 28. I was on loestrin because it is a low dose pill and thought it would be good. My sex drive plummeted on it though. I will say when I was on ortho evra my sex drive went through the roof though. Depending on what pills you have tried and their side effects, you can kind of tell how you react to each hormone. Ortho evra has a very high estrogen while loestrin has very low. So for me, the higher estrogen brings up the sex drive while low estrogen and high progesterone levels plummet my sex drive.
