I have been on the pill, (ortho tri-cyclen
for most of the time, and ortho-cyclen for
a couple months), since a couple months
before I got married, so I don't know what
it's like to have a normal sex drive. So
it's been almost 3 and a half years. What
are some of the things that happen when
one goes off the pill? Today I should
start my active pills, and am considering
to take a couple months off to see how it
feels to be natural and normal again.
What can I expect?

You will probably notice your sex drive
will increase when you go off, as well,
you may find your appetite may be less,
and your period may be a bit out of wack,
but other than that, everything should be
normal. Congrats on getting married!

Just Got Off the Pill Posted: 10-20-03 18:04pm
I just got off the pill. I am not as
hungry, but my sex drive didn't increase
very much at all! : (
i came to this forum to ask if anyone has
tried avlimil (a non-hormonal pill that is
supposed to increase sex drive) or any
creams. I have tried several creams.
There are lots out there these days, but
they are all expensive.... Was hoping to
weed a few good ones out...
