Default Sex Drive

hey, i've been on microgynon 30 for about half a year now and ive noticed a dramatic decrease in my sex drive before i started the pill i wanted to have sex with my fiance every day all day, now i barely want it once a week, it's putting a slight strain on our relationship too because the pill has made me more tense and i noticed i have mood swings, I'm just wondering if anyone can give me advice, I'm seriously thinking about coming off of it I'm that stressed!

Thanks in advance x

Sounds like this is not the pill for you. Try something else?

Thanks for your advice

i'm wondering whether to come off of it all together and stick to condoms because at least that way my sex drive will come back?

Might be a good idea to let that one get completely out of your system before you try another.

If/when you do start a new one, ask for something with low side effects. I'm on Tri-Cyclen Lo and they're pretty minimal. My sex drive certainly hasn't gone down at all.

Usually it is the pill, unfortunately that happens quite often. I would certainly discuss another option with the doc.

I actually don't use any at all....back in the day when I did, I was a wreck...I lost a boyfriend over it...

Let him use the BC. No risks for him or for you unless you're allergic to Latex.

Well a condom would certainly be effective for me: they rob so much sensitivity that I was rarely able to have an orgasm at all while using one.
