NuvaRing and Decreased Libido: Potential Side Effects & Solutions


Question
Hi. I am currently using Nuva Ring and I have been for about a year. I think in the past 6 months my sex drive has gone way down. (Since I am 19 I found this odd.) I read an article in a magizine that the pill can make some women have little or no sex drive. Can the ring do this as well? Or is it something else? If it is the ring what advice would u offer?  

Answer
I read the same article. Some women have a loss of libido while using the pill. I have not see anything about loss of libido eith NuvaRing or the patch. Perhaps the patch will be better. If the patch  does the same thing, you might  discuss alternatives with your doctor.
