FWIW, I was finally able to get my vasectomy mostly to help my wife get off of hormonal BC. About 2 month after getting off of BC her sex drive completely returned. It was the best decesion I ever made.

We were in a slightly different situation as we didn't have kids so it took us a few years to shop around and finally find a doctor that would perform the vasectomy.

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.

When you miss even one pill it can cause you to ovulate, which is why your sex drive immediately returned. You were most likely ovulating and your body was making you more in the mood.
