Birth control pill question
| Thu, 06-03-2004 - 10:31am |
Hi ladies, I just noticed this board and so thought I would stop in and ask a question. DW is starting BC pills again and her doctor just started her on Estrostep fe or something like that. I have heard so many women, being a veteran of the clashing libido board, talk about the effect of BC pills on sex drive so I am wondering if anyone has any information on this particular one. DW has a low sex drive to begin with so if these pills lower it any further, I need to know and be prepared. I have also actually heard some women say their BC pills have increased their drive-of course I am not so convinced that the pill has that much to do with sex drive but so many women claim it does. Any information would be much appreciated.

One pill that I was on, several years ago, killed my libido completely - I had NO interest. When I went off the pill a year ago this month, I didn't think I had any libido issues with the one I was on, but I discovered otherwise... my husband says I am more like I was when we met 11+ years ago, before starting the pill. The decrease in libido was slow & it didn't disappear completely, it just tapered off a little.
I hope all works out well for your wife, hopefully she won't be one of us whose sex drive diminishes on the pill.
