Had tubal, staying on pill to regulate

I have a question? I had a tubal ligation done 2 weeks ago and haven't been on the pill (ortho novum)now in 2 wks me and my husband have had sex and it was great! My problem is I have been taking pills for 16 years now I am 31 now and I wanted to stay on the pill to regulate my periods and help with my skin, the problem is I have been spoiled with not having a period only about 15 times since the age of 16 because I am on a high dose of pill Ortho Novum, the pill has been really great for me but before I had the tubal my sex drive was just ok now being off the pill I have much more sensation all over my body. Does anyone have a recommendation for a low does pill that I can stay on to help with my skin and keep my labido charged up? I love not having my period so that would be a plus as well. The doctor want's me to try try clclen lo but I don't want my labido to go south? I am just worried about changing BCP's since I have had the best luck on the Ortho Novum. Also I have never had a orgasm by just having sex and was wondering if the pills are hampering that dept as well? I started the pill when I was a virgin so I believe that this is because of the pill as well? Any help would be nice!!! Thanks

I agree with Jill, it does sound like your situation with Ortho Novum wasn't that bad!

Thanks, I did talk with the nurse and since the Ortho Novum worked for me then don't bother switching. I got my perscription filled yesterday fro the Ortho Novum and am back on. I will deal with the lower labido factor and enjoy the carefree life of NO PERIOD's.
