Hello, this is my first time posting, but I am hoping you will be able to help me solve my problem.

So, my boyfriend and I are very much in love and just started having sex in late August (he is my first). I am 25 and in good health, and the only medication I take is Lo Loestrin 24 FE. I started it in mid-September. In the beginning, I got extremely wet and the wetness was very plentiful. Over the last couple of months it seems that the wetness is not as plentiful as it once was. We have sex 2-3 times over a 1-2 hour period, and I will have plenty of wetness the first 2 times, and I can feel it running out during the third time. I mean, I have enough to allow both of us to finish, but I begin to get rubbed raw internally. If the irritation is uncomfortable enough, it will make me sore to the point where sex is either not really an option or a very uncomfortable and dry option for the next day or 2. It's not that I stop being turned on; it's just that I run out of vaginal moisture . I really want to get back to a place where I have plenty of my own natural moisture to work with. Please help me understand why this is happening if you can and how I can resolve this issue. Thank you.

YES, Ive read the birth control pill causes vaginal dryness.

It may also be stress.

Make sure your food intake has heaps of micro-nutrients (vitamins and minerals) as welll as macronutrients (protein, carbs, ....)

Also be aware that stress will affect the absorption of micronutrients.

Substances that may interfere with micronutrients:

Caffeine
Tobacco
Antibiotics
Asprin
Alcohol
Stress

Also make sure you get enough fresh natural water but not too much either.

Edit...No links thanks

So add lube to your activity. No big deal. Lots of people do it. In addition, it gives you a chance to take a break and you can make it fun.

Always beware of people in here who break the rules with the replies they post. They shouldn't be believed or trusted.

Your body is a temple...treat it accordingly!

Try out different store bought sex lubes to find one that works for you. Use them before you get rubbed raw.

or try an arousal gel. It sure helped me. These gel are a little different than good old lubes and help if you have a problem with the idea of replacing the lube of your body when you think your body should comply with your own wishes. Arousal gels (or at least those that work) contain a substance that increases the blood flow to the genitals which is what you need to make your own lube. Now, some of them contain menthol or other plant oils (e.g. Zestra) or Niacin (like e.g. KY-intense) that induce either a cooling or warming sensation which some women find very pleasurable. I, however, figured out that I find this weird and distracting, but I found a gel on amazon that works for me that doesn't do that. It's called Galaxis Gel and it claims to use the same molecule that the human body uses for arousal response. I don't know whether that's true, but it works for me making me wet and more sensitive without feeling weird and distracting.
