Pill vs. IUD: Impact on Sex Drive & Contraception Options


Question
i am currently taking a low dose pill, but i have no sex drive since being on the pill, only at the end of the pill cycle and until i'm on it for a couple days on the next cycle. would an iud be a better choice, and would it affect sex drive?


Answer
All contraceptives have side effects.  Diminished sex drive is one of the ones for the pill.  I don't know about the IUD and sex drive but you should consider what the side effects are and decide how much of your health and wellbeing you are willing to risk.  Especially, when there are natural ways to avoid getting pregnant that do not put your health or emotions at risk.
