S/O BC ....also TMI

Is there a form of BC out there that does not lower your sex drive?

 

I have had a serious low sex drive for a long time now and it's depressing....and while I've wanted to see if there was a reason, I never really did. just kinda chalked it up to my busy lifestyle, etc. etc. etc. But I have been hearing from lots of people (including earlier post) that BC can seriously lower your sex drive. I'm thinking that probably is my problem since I've had this problem since I've been on this bc.

So my question: Is there a bc that doesn't do this? other than the good old fashioned condom?

Re: S/O BC ....also TMI

  • I use a diaphragm and I love it. It's not hormonal so it doesn't lower sex drive or have any other weird side effects. I can't feel it at all and prefer it to condoms. You can insert it up to 6 hours before sex if you think you will be getting frisky later Party!!! It isn't as effective as the pill (about 94% when used properly) but I'm okay with that.

  • IUD (Mirena) is the only one that worked for me.

    On a related note. Why is this always the topic of conversation among women? Why are we the only ones who are expected to put hormones in our bodies every day to keep for having children? Can scientists really not come up with a BCP for dudes? We need to get our top people on this. Our top people!!

     

    SERIOUSLY!  So not fair.

    I did really really bad on the IUD.............although, now that I think about it, I did have a really high sex drive with it. hah. but I gained 30lbs from one month on being on it. Sooo....yah.

    Yup this annoys me b/c I want kids now and DH wants to wait. If he is the one who doesn't want kids yet why do I have to be responsible for it? *vent over*
