Contraception and VD/Marina Pill

Question
Hi,

I have had the marina pill for about 2/12 years no periods at all.  I have lost all of my sex drive could the Marina have anything to do with this?  

Thanks,
Simone

Answer
Hi Simone,

I think that it is possible that this could be a symptom of the pill. I have heard of this and other symptoms from birth control pills. I usually recommend non-hormonal methods of birth control because of the risks and side effects. Could you consider another form of birth control at the present time? Write me at DWooley97@aol.com and hope to hear from you soon.
