Hello all! :wave:

I'm looking for a new form of b/c. I have been on estrostep and estrostep fe and currently i am on seasonale.

Im not getting off of seasonale because I dont like it (i really like it actually) but ever since i've been on it for the past year and a half my sex drive has been non-existant and i would like to change that.

I would prefer something without weight gain as i didnt gain anything from seasonale and I have been losing weight lately..

Any suggestions? :confused:

Every birth control pill has the potential to cause a decreased libido. It's a trial and error thing; you need to find the brand that works best for you.

As far as weight gain, all brands list weight gain as a possible side effect. However, many professionals agree that the hormones do not cause weight gain, but cause an increase in appetite. If you give into the cravings, it's likely that you will gain weight if you don't increase your exercise.

But, like I said, it's a trial and error thing. Talk to your gyno to see what your options are.
