I take lo-ovral and have noticed that it does effect my libido, but I have not noticed it causing acne or facial hair growth. I have not tried anything to help the libido issue. I have tried several bcp's and the lo-ovral seems to help the most with my endo symptoms. Luckily, I have an understanding hubby who is a saint for not complaining about my sex drive! (or should I say my LACK of sex drive!)

Hugs! Amy Meyer
