Dawn (17) wants to start having sex with her boyfriend, so she's considering hormonal birth control. She says to her older friend, Julia, "I want to go on the pill, but I heard that it completely destroys your sex drive, so, like, what's the point if I want to have sex, you know?" Julia replies, "Yeah, I heard that too. Though pills differ based on their hormone content and ingredients. Go talk to your doctor, for sure, but mine put me on ________ because it's low dosage, and it's been fine so far."

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hormonal birth control pills like Alysena are often low dosage and can be a suitable option for those concerned about potential side effects such as a decreased sex drive. Depo-Provera is an injectable form of birth control, not a pill, and Diane and Ginette are known for their specific formulations that might not necessarily be low dosage or directly aimed at minimizing side effects like decreased libido.
