I am on Nora BE, and it has pretty much killed my sex drive. My hubby still wants to have sex and stuff, but I just can't get into it at all. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?

i got the implant to. wen i was pregnant i went off sex but now its jst came bk. i think the implant has kinda helped in a way. You get it in your arm and it have hormones like the pill and it stays in fr 3 yrs.

The implant you got in your arm what does that do? I'm on the depo provera right now. I like the not having to deal with the monthly.(if i ever actually stop bleeding) But i've never heard of an implant that would work for 3 years??

I got Mirena, and it actually has heightened my sex drive (which is going to suck because my husband deploys for a year to Iraq soon lol). I've heard this a lot from several Army wives I talk to on a forum. Is there another BC you are willing to try?

I got Mirena, and it has not affected my sex drive. It's just been difficult with all the bleeding and spotting. I am hoping it settles down soon.
