is it possible that the pill is causing me to have barely any sexual drive and vaginal dryness? ive also noticed that ive been very moody. are these effects present in all birth control pills or should i try a different kind? thanks!

Yes, all those side effects could very well be from your pill. You should try switching and seeing if it helps. Many women will find a pill that gives some improvement, but many have to go off the pill to gain back their sex drive and to get rid of the vaginal dryness.

Try taking Vitamin E supplements to help keep your skin supple, and make sure you use a lubricant during sex that won't dry up to quickly. If sex becomes painful - STOP. The longer you let it go on, the more damage you do to the tissues.

I had the same issues with some depression throwen in My Dr actually two different ones prity mutch told me it was in my head and of course at the time being new to BC i though ok its just nerves mabie it really is all in my head. after almost three years of being on BC i tried severial dfferent kinds incuding the nuva ring some helped slightly others their wasent a change. iv been of hormonal BC just over 2 years now and i still think i have some lingering issues from it. like the one poster said about damaging the tisue i think thats what happened ot me after three years of the BC makeing me so dry and not having any libdo i think my tisue doesent strech like it should any more it just gets little tears which hurt like crazy. ido use lots of luberants (now and even when i was on BC) but it dident do mutch good. and it still doesent do mutch good now. So please dont let your DR tell you its in your head make them find something that works for you. ok im done with the BC grumbling lol.
