I am 23 years old and I have never had children. I had the Mierna IUD fitted in August of 2010 and noticed a sharp decrease in libido in October... it was such a devastating blow to see my long distance boyfriend and to have no desire to sleep with him. I attributed my lack of libido to (law) school stress, however I finished finals in early December and spent 2 beautiful, stress free weeks in Mexico and STILL no libido.. the Mirena IUD could affect you in this way too. Don't let you OB/GYN tell you there are no studies out there proving this.. you know your body better than anyone else. I got it removed a few days ago.. what is the point in having an IUD if I am not even having sex with someone I barely see?! Same happened to me on BC. I am done trying to feed my body hormones...
