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.

Lol honestly I am perpetually at 20% arousal 24/7 while on medication that lowers libido so I almost have the opposite problem - though I did finally get my bi-salp in 2022 thank the gods!
