I'm 40, and my doctor put me back on the Pill 2 months prior to my tubal surgery. My question is, has anyone else suffered from sexual dysfunction on this Pill? Before I went back on it, my boyfriend and I used condoms, etc. and my sex drive was extremely high. Now, it's so-so, and it's becoming increasingly more difficult to orgasm.

I was on the pill for 10 years and for me, the side effects were absolutely a loss of libido & much dryness as well.

Yep....this is very common.

So, the irregular bleeding is common, too?! I'm on day 15 of my current pack, and I still had to wear a lite tampon yesterday! It's ridiculous. I'm all for control, because I'm done having kids, but come on! Argh!

Irregular bleeding can be very common when you're first starting the pill.
