A member asked:
What birth control pill is least likely to lower sex drive? my wife was prescribed ogestrel, what is the likelihood she will have no sex drive, thanks

Sex drive ok: Oegestrel is a combination pill containing ethinyl estradiol / norgestrel, an estrogenic agent and a progestin. Although this BCP can cause depression, there are no reports of loss of libido. So the answer is a very low risk...
