(a progestin) but has no estrogen with it. I can certainly see how the Mirena IUD could cause low libido, too. When I was on Ortho-Tricyclen, it totally robbed me of my sex drive. It was horrible, and the sad thing is I took it for 3 yrs. and never put it together until after I was off of it. I listened to a radio-blog with Dr. Vliet and she commented that

Ortho-Tricyclen can cause multiple cysts on the ovaries, makes me wonder if it can mimic or even induce PCOS. I have never had so much trouble with my hormones and cycles as I have since coming off that BC pill. It's like it messed my body up! Ugh! Chelle
