birth control
"I started taking Kariva when Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo became too expensive for me.  I have been on Kariva for the past 4 years.  Positives: predictable 5 day periods, no acne, less moodswings. Negatives: weight gain (20 pounds), NO libido whatsoever.  I was able to deal with the side effects for 4 years(my poor boyfriend), and now I've had enough. I've stopped taking it, immediately lost 5 pounds, have a great libido again, and find it easy to track my period with P-Tracker app. "
