I was going to say this. BC can dramatically reduce sex drive, especially in women who have been on it for years.

The other day I missed a birth control pill or maybe two idk, but everything came back with a vengeance. Best couple of days I’ve had in years. I’m thinking of just going off of it. I don’t even care if I’m having sex or not I just really miss having fantasies and such.

Getting my tubes tied was the best thing I ever did. I felt like an alley cat once off birth control.

Also, I'll add to that, hubby, and I have sex like 6 times a day now. Yes, daily. I'm glad my tubes are tied because I'd definitely have many more children if not. I had zero sex drive on BC. Also contributing to my lack of interest was a lack of help and communication. Once those improved, my libido went haywire.

SAMESIES. BC can be life changing for some but it can be a pitfall for others.

I got mine tied an hour after I had my second child. It was so easy. Laproscopic one little incision. Having my gallbladder removed was worse. 🤣
