Loss of Libido??
| Wed, 08-02-2006 - 9:34pm |
I've been on Alesse for about 7 months. As far as side effects go...it was just the usual headaches when I first started, but the got weaker and eventually disappeared. But lately, I haven't been as interested in "getting busy" as I usually am. It's possible that part of it is stress related. However, when I AM interested (mentally), my body is not responding like it used to. I'm not secreting as much fluid as I used to during foreplay and intercourse, making intercourse slightly painful. (I know, use lube!) My question is this: Is this loss of libido/natural lubrication pill related?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your response...
I have another question for you...I've been on it for 7 months, why would it not have effected me like this before now? Any ideas?
There's not really any explanation for it.
Hi curiousgirl104, Welcome back!

Hey Jill,
Thanks for your message. Mind if I ask what you ended up doing when you went off the pill? (I don't mind if you don't want to share, but I was just wondering what ended up working for you...i know everyone's different, but...)
Any insight on moodiness, too? I got moody when I started, but I thought it was getting better. But the last two months, it's been getting worse. I broke down in the middle of dinner last night (we had gone out) for NO rational reason! (talk about embarassing...my poor SO had no idea what to do.) I'm definitely going to find out about switiching pills this week...
thx!

Moodiness is another common side effect of hormonal contraceptives so
