A member asked:
I have had the mirena (levonorgestrel) for 3 1/2 yrs and have had a significant decrease in lidido. what supplmeets can i take to offset this, short of taking it out?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Libido & IUD: Short of taking the IUD out ,there are no supplements for decreased libido. Most women experience a rise in libido when an secure IUD is in place as they are now secure from unintended pregnancy.

It might not be the: Marina. I suggest seeing a psychologist to help find out if another problem might be causing it. There are many ways to restoke the sex drive. Check all other meds you are taking, both prescribed and OTC--many psychoactive drugs reduce libido. Increassed libido is a side effect some--you might ask your doc to try a dose of 1000 iu of HCG, which is used by diet clinics as an appetite suppressant.
