Better birth control for sex drive?
So long story short, I've been on several birth control methods over the past seven years. IUDs don't play well with my uterus - I expelled one paragard and two mirenas. Plus, the hormones in Mirena literally made me want to die (bad depression, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts). I've also tried Yasmin and Ortho-Cyclen in the past - both screwed with my moods, and Ortho-Cyclen had a negative impact on hair growth (I grew a lot of fine hair on my face, especially).
The best pill so far, and the one I'm on right now, is Yaz. There was one generic of Yaz that worked pretty well for me (Loryna) but for whatever reason my insurance company switched me to the brand name and my moods are a little bit off.
I'm probably going to go back to Loryna, but before I do, I was wondering if any of you had found the holy grail of a birth control that didn't affect your weight, moods, or sex drive. Loryna did 2/3, but any hormonal birth control (including Mirena) that I've ever been on kills my ability to orgasm, if not necessarily my desire for sex. If anyone has found the perfect PCOS pill, please let me know!
