I'm looking to switch birth control methods, currently I'm on the pill, and I'm.. well, it's not horrible, but I'm having problems around the site of the patch, it seems to make whichever side of my body that it's on, sore, sick, or otherwise not bearable. So, for that and other reasons I'm looking to switch to a pill.

Are there any suggestions? I'm looking for a pill that won't kill my libido (I've read horror stories and experienced a bit of that myself, which I don't find pleasant or tolerable at all..), if it's possible I'd like to not gain weight on the pill, but it's not a priority, and I'm not interested in the effects on my skin, since I've never had a huge problem with acne. Basically I want a pill that won't kill my libido, that's the most important thing. I've heard good things about Seasonale, Nordette, and other 2nd generation pills with more androgen in them.. so, does anyone have any agreements/disagreements/suggestions?

Thx in advance!

Well, When I was on Nordette.. I experienced no change in sex drive. I got put on Estrostep FE and I actually noticed an increase in my sex drive..because when I stopped taking my other pill..it was GONE.. I had no desire what so ever to do anything. at all. And then within the first or second day on estrostep.. it was back. So.. It has different effects on everyone. Just try Nordette first though..if you can (NOT LEVORA! DONT GO ON THAT PILL EVER!) ... But yea, that seemed to give me little to no side effects and was very happy on it.. If it doesnt agree with u...try something else. (by the way I had amazing skin with nordette, and gained no weight..but estrostep has definately given me a bigger appetite.)
