Off Birth Control and Can't Bounce Back

Went on Birth Control for 9 months. We notice once I went on birth control that I had a hard time, getting excuse my language, "wet" before having sex. Nothing and I mean nothing got me to that point and we used lubricants to just be able to have sex. I finally got tired of it and felt bad because I wanted to have sex many of the times but my body would prepare itself for it. Finally I went off birth control thinking this will help me bounce back to my normal self. Well, it has been almost 6 months and nothing has change. Now it is just frustrating. We are a young married couple in our 20's. Any advice???

Re: Off Birth Control and Can't Bounce Back

  • If you're worried, it's probably a good idea to check in with your doctor. I was having the same issue as you - as well as a general lack of drive. I went off BC in August and honestly although there was a difference straight away, its only in the past couple weeks I've been really raring to go.

    It can take time for your body to even out after being on bc. I was on it for nine years.

    Good luck and I hope it sorts itself out for you soon!

  • Was this a problem before BC?

    I had the same problem. It took me about a year to stabilize after being on hormonal BC for about 6 years. Still, you should talk to your gyno. Let her know what is happening.
