I just barely switched from a generic brand of ortho lo to the real stuff and have noticed a sexual drive low! I have never had this in my life i just got married and it is really frustrating to my husband. I mean it feels good but it takes forever for stimulation to accure and orgasms are so week! i’m talking like30-45 minutes for one to happen and then when it does its so small!(oral) Intercourse feels good but i cannot orgasm for nothing! I’ve only been on it for a month will this go away or should i switch to a different pill? The generic ones never cause this problem but because of health insurance loss i had to switch to a different company!? Its really crappy anyone have suggestions or advise or just anything?!
If you suggest another type please let me know what you are using or what one is the best! THANKS!

I experienced that among a lot of other side effects. I would switch.

i have been on ortho before and i was much happier on the generic brand of lo myself. however, i am now on the nuva ring, there are alot of less side effects and an increased sex drive. it is also less expensive, especially if you can use planned parenthood. switch.

Yes, I have experienced that plus headaches and nausea.
I have been using Ortho product brands for several years now, but not until I started the Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo had I experienced any side effects.
I am young so this was very frustrating for me and my fiance also. After I got off of it, I was fine.

My wife also has the same problem.. she’s not much into the mood after taking Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo, so which one is better one? Thanks!!
