Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | protection against pregnancy. |

| Comments: | | I take the pill continuously, skipping the placebos and thus my period for four months, followed by one week of placebos. My mood, energy and hormonal balance remain constant, particularly compared to other pills but unfortunately so has my sex drive. The changes in sexual feelings are clearly related to the pill because as soon as I take the placebos I experience a huge elevation in sex drive. That is not much motivation to keep taking them but aside from spermicidal barrier methods that cause irritation and invasive procedures such as the IUD, I don't know what other options I have. |
