Member question: Does the birth control patch have more of an effect on libido than the pill?

Wickman: Our theory is the Ortho Evra patch has a more favorable effect on libido, because it does not involve metabolism in the liver or breakdown through the liver, and it is that breakdown in the liver that causes increase in that sex hormone binding protein. So we often switch people from the oral pill to this patch, hoping to make use of that effect. The patch does not seem to increase the sex hormone binding protein, and therefore does not decrease testosterone levels like the oral pill does.
