Pills and Sex Drive - Birth Control Message Board

A_Moore · 12-07-2005, 01:38 PM

I am in the process of tracking down my doctor to talk to her about switching pills because of my non-exsistant sex drive. I am currently on Lo-Ovral. I know all pills effect people differently but I was wondering if anyone could tell me their experiences with the pill they are on and how it affects their sex drive. Thanks!

I'm on Ovcon-35 and my sex drive is fine.

I was on OTC Lo, but get switched because of low sex drive. I'm on the patch now and have no complaints in that department.

I think all birth control pills do that. Some are worse than others. I was on LoOvral too and they switched me to Levenol for some reason. I hate them both. However, I took my last pill last Sunday and I'm going completely off. After this I'm going to do natural hormone replacement. I'm 50 but I think I still might need an additional contraceptive. I'll have to talk to my doctor about that.

weird. I was on alesse and had no sex drive, so i went off the pill for a couple months until it returned and yesterday the doc put me on lo-ovral in hopes of keeping the problem from returning. I guess these things are different for everyone.
