Im just wondeping if anyone else's sex
drive has decreased while on the
pill.....I stopped taking it for a month
and it started to come back, so I decided
to!take the pill againjust in case
anything happened. And a week later, bam,
no sex drive again.
Has this happened to anyone else?

I've been on ortho tri cyclen lo for a
month and a half. When I first got on it
I was dry a lot during sex but I blame it
on that I really was not in the mood
because I had stabbing pains in my side
for a few days. (that's enough to make
anyone not want to have sex) other then
that, i've had no problems.
Side note: apparentally, pills with 3
levels of hormones (a diff level each
week) are less liekly to cause decrease in
sex drive.

Mine was fine. I'm not on anymore, I got
off because I kept accidentally skipping
pills and now i'm 18 weeks pregnant!

I have been on nuva ring for the past few
months and I can say that my sex drive has
not went anywhere. I would think that it
has increased since getting on nuva ring.

Birth control can increase/decrease your
sex drive. That is very, very common.
If it is bothersome, you can switch to a
different pill that doesn't give you that
effect.

I am on nuva ring and I do notive my esx
drive decrease as well, but not enough to
cause any problems with my relationship.
In fact I don't even think my boyfriend
has noticed.

Yep ,lost my libido on the pill.My doc
switched me to yasmine.It has some
testosterone in it ,it did help.Now my doc
took me off the pill altogether,now my
husband has lost his desire  .I
keep trying to talk him into a little
snipsnip.Probably not even needed,we could
not concieve when we tried.Oh
well!!!Yes,the pill is a double edged
sword!It gives you the freedom to have sex
whenever you want,then takes away the
desire!!I miss my pills!!!!It made my
peroids so much easier and could pinpoint
the arrival almost to the hour!!  I
guess I can only hope menopause comes
soon!Patty

I had a reduced libido on ortho
tricyclen.. I am better on the depo shot
(now that my period has regulated anyway).

Im on alesse and me and my boyfriend will
have to say that I have a highly increased
sex drive.. I dont know if its becuase of
the pill or if im just more comforatable
knowing that I have a very slim chance of
getting pregnant. If u do find you have
a lowered sex drive.. Ask ur doctor about
another bc choice
