Question: I have been on the pill for about 7 years now and my libido has disappeared. I have been on ortho-lo. Is there a better pill. Im sure the FH will be pleased if i switch.



I had the same problem... I switched to Yaz... All better!

I use Yaz and didnt have any of the bad side effects i had with yasmin.

you can do the patch, the shots (depo provera, I know I spelled this wrong but that is how it sounds). or the nuva ring there is also really scary other stuff that I won't bother mentioning. I have no personal recommendations on any of them but I took a class on this stuff.




DON'T TAKE THE PATCH< it has really messed alot of people me included, there is a huge class action law suit going on now

Yeah, same here about the patch.

I freaked out. Lots of people dying from blood clots...

Don't use the patch!

I was on Depo shots for about 3 years...and when i stopped it my cycle didnt come back for a YEAR! Now I dont get a regular cycle unless im taking BCP! I have yet to find a method that works good for me...Im too forgetful to be on the pill!
