You may be eligible to enter this research trial of a contraceptive pill that may increase your libido.

A Multi-centre, double-blind, randomized study to investigate the impact of a sequential oral contraceptive containing oestradiol valerate and dienogest (SH T00658ID) compared to a monophasic contraceptive containing ethinylestradiol and levonorgestrel (Microgynon) over 6 treatment cycles on alleviating complaints of reduced libido in women with acquired female sexual dysfunction (FSD) associated with oral contraceptive use.

Principal researchers:

  • Professor Susan Davis
  • Dr Fiona Jane

Associate researchers:

  • Associate Professor Robin Bell

For some years now, some women taking the oral contraceptive pill have noticed a decrease in their libido. This problem has been investigated by The Women's Health Program who are conducting a study into a new oral contraceptive pill that it hopes will lessen this problem.

Volunteers are required for this study to visit the Alfred campus (Prahran) on 4 occasions over a 6 month period.
