A member asked:

When i take birth control it makes me nauseous and kills my libido. is this normal? is nuvaring a good alternative for pill birth control?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Some women do report a loss of libido or nausea with birth-control pills. Nuvaring might be a worth exploring. . You might also try a different pill. There a many different pills that have different ingredients. Some women tolerate one pill better than another. Best wishes!
