I also have no sex drive on Desogen, however because I have such severe depression on many of the other pills I have decided to stay with it..and force myself pretty much. I'm taking Lo Ovral right now and it is now one of my top 3 bad ones to take, so I went back and got my old prescription to desogen. Like the previous poster said every woman is different and frankly its a bit of a crap shoot.

Just to give you an example I have gone through Ortho-cyclin, Loestrin, the Nuvaring, Alesse (Aviane), Apri (Desogen), and now Lo Ovral. For me, and I stress "for me", my worst were Ortho-cyclin, Nuvaring, and now Lo Ovral citing mostly severe depression/anxiety reaction, pimples, and chronic yeast infections (with the Ortho-cyclin) every pill has made me gain exactly 30 pounds (only if I had gone off the pill for 3 or more months in between).

I tell this to the clinic doctors when I go, most ignore or don't believe me (I didn't have insurance for a long time and travel extensively for my job now on little to no notice so I have never been able to get a regular doctor). In fact the most information I get about birth control is what us ladies share with each other on these forums. So the only thing I can say is keep trying.

And if anyone reading this has as many problems as I do with birth control maybe they can share also. I just want to be normal, and I don't want babies! Not yet anyway ;).
