bcp and lubrication
| Thu, 07-29-2004 - 9:26pm |
Has anyone found a bcp that does not reduce or elimate your ability to lubricate before/during sex? I am currently on Desogen, and also had this problem with Mircette.
Any feedback would be appreciated!

I have been taking Orth Tri-Cyclen (28 day) for 3 years and I have had no problems with lubrication before or during sex. hope that helps a bit :)
Another idea that my former gyn had when we were working out my lubrication issue (as well as others) was to prescribe Nuvaring. Because the hormones are secreted directly into the vaginal tissue, his theory was that the estrogen would more effectively help with lubrication because it was applied where it was needed, rather than going through the digestive system. Between that and the vagina's natural tendency to lubricate when there is a foreign object in it, it seemed to make sense, and it worked.
I hope you can find a solution! Lack of lubrication is uncomfortable, to say the least, and really painful when you need it!
