Vaginal dryness is a very very common effect of being on birth control. I personally was so wet beforehand it was messy. Now I am just about right in the wetness department, so it worked really well for me, LOL. I wouldn't necessarily recommend going off birth control, but you can talk to your doctor about changing to a different brand, see if that helps, as different brands of birth control cause different side effects in different women. But it sounds like the vaginal cream may be a good solution, you will make more of your own lubrication instead of having to use lube every time you have sex. On the other hand, I have heard that using coconut oil as a lube is a great idea, it is a natural oil, smells and tastes good, and it easy to buy and store. It comes in a solid form, so just heat up a little bit of it before you use it. Good luck!
Yes I am on birtch control. Ive actually thought about going off of it to see what happens...if I notice any changes. Im on Yaz.
