Yaz and libido???

Turns out that the Nuva Ring destroys my libido just like the pill. DH and I are using condoms for the time being until I can convince him to get in for the big - V (he has already agreed to it, the problem is physically getting him to go to the doctor - men!). I just hate being on the hormones and feel so much better this way.

If you lose your libido with the pill and with Nuvaring, I don't know why Yaz would be any different, IMHO.

I also don't think that Yaz will solve your problems with libido b/c drospirenone (the progestin in Yaz) has no androgenic activity whatsoever. Some of the more androgenic pills (that would be more likely to increase your libido) are LoEstrin24 (same 24 day schedule as Yaz), Nordette and Lo-Ovral.
