I took a bc called Triphasil for years, with no libido effects, then switched to Ortho Tyicyclen, and liked that I didn't break out, or gain weight, but it gradually just decimated my libido! I had bloodwork done and was told that my free testoserone was very very very very low.... likely cause by the pill being metabolized by my liver. The specialist testing me has now just switched me to the ring, since those hormones aren't metabolized by the liver.. saying that should help. Any others with similar experience? Did the ring work for you?
