    Default Copper IUD - Less sex lust?!

    Hello ladies,

    I hope that you can help me with some oppinions

    After realizing that BC with hormones turns me into a hysterical b*tch, I got a copper IUD (after using a diaphragm for a while which was way to complicated)!

    Now, thinking back, my sexual lust have been going downhill the last couple of years. I know for a fact that the pill makes me loose any kind of interest in sex! When I got off the pill, I regained some of my lust but never got back to my peak-state! I've always assumed the reason was being in a long-term relationship, dancing, focusing on other things and not being 19 anymore. However, I'm starting to wonder if my copper IUD could have something to do with this whole thing!

    I got on the pill when I was 20, tried different brands for 6 months time, tried getting a diaphragm and then finally got the IUD 1,5 years ago. I'm 22 now.

    Does any of you have any experiences or have heard about anything regarding all this?

    I've had mine for five years. And seeming as there are no hormones in the Paragard, it is highly unlikely it would affect your sex drive at all.

    I have a non hormonal, copper IUD too and have noticed no change in sex drive. I doubt it would affect it.

    I had no change in sex drive at all with mine, but less than a year in, I got pregnant ...I guess I was in that certain percentage failure rate.

    I loved the thing up to that point of course.

    I love my paraguard!

    I had the Mirena for 2.5 years (took it out because of a hormonal reaction) and had no decrease in sex drive.

    Some girls react differently to different things. Some girls have reacted a certain way to the copper that is inexplainable due to the fact that the paraguard doesn't have hormones. But just because it doesn't have hormones doesn't mean it doesn't have side effects.

    I was surprised with my paraguard, though. I was told I would have increased flow and cramps from hell. Well I do bleed like a stuck hog now, but I don't cramp at all! And I used to cramp real bad with mirena and on my own without any BC at all!

    ^^ Eehh, I was blessed by the period godesses. Four days, the 16th to 20th of every month, no cramps etc etc.

    Everything has been peachy keen but good fucking god about once every six months it's like my uterus is cleaning house. Grosstastic. Otherwise, no complaints.

    Oh dear, that puts the fear of god into me.

    I am so scared of being in that percentage that I make hubby pull out most of the time.

    It was an absolute NIGHTMARE..but a learning experience never the less, I had thought I found the best birth control for me as hormonal ones make me crazy.
    It is a very small percentage failure rate...dont worry to much. I had NEVER heard of anyone having had it happen UNTIL it happened to me..

    I still think there fab but not for me I guess, now it doest matter cuz my sweetheart is fixed and I am happy with that!!

    I haven't noticed any change in my libido in the yr i've had mine, perhaps i'm just an outlier.

    but hey, Screw more. it's supposed to make you want it more.

    I have the copper IUD and there are no hormones so it shouldn't affect your sex drive. I LOVE it. Perhaps if you are taking other meds they may affect you negatively. I just weaned myself off Zoloft which KILLED my libido. It was zero and sucked majorly, not to mention I felt like a zombie with no feelings. Anyway, back to the IUD, I don't think it could be causing your lack of libido.
