sexual side effects of the pill?
| Mon, 10-23-2006 - 6:00pm |
Wondering, from your experience, which type of pill has the lowest rate of sexual side effects. A lot of my friends are saying that the pill lowers their desire to have sex. i don't have too much of an interest in sex in the first place so i certainly don't want a pill that's going to make having sex any harder for me. Any advice on which birth control route to take?

My sex drive was completely depleted on
Ortho Tricyclen
Nuvaring
Lo Ogesterel
It's true, it's all about trial and error.
I've just finished up my prescription with Yasmin and will be switching to Nordette (generic version Levora) this coming weekend. My doctor switched me to Levora/Nordette since Yasmin has killed my sex drive--or at least that's the suspected cause.
My question is, for those of you who have had libido problems with birth control pills and found an alternative type of pill that you've had good luck with, how long did it take before you started seeing the results (improved libido) of the new pills? I'll be starting the new pills this weekend and hopefully i'll have good luck with it.
I personally had no libido problems with OTC or Estrostep, however I had horrible moodswings with both. Moving right along to the next try. Maybe someday I'll find one that meshes with my system!
I'm curious to hear about your experiences.
