Hello ladies, I am a PW regular, but I wanted to post under a different name, I am a little embarassed to say this...

I have been with my man for 3 years. We have always had awesome chemistry. However, about three months ago I started taking BC, I hate it, my libido is 0, my hormones are a wreck, and worse, it's affecting our fantastic relationship. Once FI and I get started it is almost always fireworks, but it's like he has to show a multimedia presentation to convince me to DTD. Ladies please help, I can't go on feeling like this, I am open to taking something to help. I found a website that claims to help out but I don't want to have a handlebar mustache. Have any of you heard of "her solution" before? Thank you very much for taking the time to read this, and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I know that loss of libido can be a side affect of BC, I would suggest going back to your doctor to discuss trying a different one. I know my cousin had the same problem and changed BC twice before finding one that made her feel 'normal'....and it made her boobs bigger so she was very happy!
Good luck xx

Ditto canooknic! It's all about finding a bc that works well with you! (Not against you!) Definitely talk to you doc and hopefully find one soon... GL!

your on the wrong BC, im felt the same way when i was on nuva ring , and even Loestrin 24 Fe affected it, then i switched to generic and my drive is back

I spoke with my doctor about this recently. She recommended a few things. But most importantly, she said it is normal. I felt kinda bad, but she just kept reminding me that it happens and it's just a matter of finding what works for you.

For me, she said the issue could be that he thinks foreplay is optional. (That's a whole different issue.) She also ran through the "You've been together six years," "Marriage can add stress," "find real time together" things. But if it persists, she recommended Nuvaring. It's non-hormonal, and even some of her other patients said it's INCREASED their drive.

We had about 6 months of getting back in the swing of it, but the boys have been either been sick/waking early over the last 5-6 weeks so it's gone again.....only 15years til I send them off to college!!! Lol

If you just started taking it three months ago, I would give it some time. Your body needs to adjust. I've been on mine since March, and I'm just now starting to get back my drive. I'm sure your man will understand and bear with you for a bit. I would make sure to talk it over with him though, so he realizes it's your hormones and not anything he's done:)

I have had the exact same problem, but I know it is not entirely a BC issue... My doctor put me on LoLo Estrin24 to help with the hormone issue... but I figured out it wasn't just the BC... we had to work on it not being such a 'routine'..... I have found just going to target or any other store that sells cute undergarments helps me get excited to strip off my clothes and show him whats underneath.....So it comes down to figuring out what makes it fun for you to start off DTD

yes It's totally the BC...but be carreful nuvaring is also hormonal!and for some it's great for some others is really bad!

Everyone is different in that matter...stupid brain ;)

ditto littlebit07 give your body a bit of time and if it's still bad...go to your doctor and tell him/her they should know what to give you instead.

I went through this same issue when I was on the nuvaring. I was moody, snappy, emotional, and had NO drive whatsoever. Which is not like me but it took a while to realize this. FI didn't like all the other symptoms either but was understanding for a while because I thought it was a great BC.

I've been on a few diff types and right now I have the Mirena which I am glad I got almost 3 years ago. It was the best thing BC wise I did for my body.
