[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep, BC pills killed my libido and I had/have a healthy one.  When I first tried the pill when I was 18 I didn't notice any libido change but once I was on BC in my late 20's-early 30's it seriously sucked.[/quote]

This is me, too. I didn't notice it as much when I was younger, but definitely once I hit my 20's and especially 30's. It was a slow realization, but confirmed after being off for only a couple months. Being pregnant made me want sex all the time, breastfeeding killed it again, and now am finally getting it back over a year post-partum (still bf-ing but not as frequently). Exhaustion and room sharing and not yet STTN make it harder, but I do want the intimacy.[/quote]

I am glad you are not my wife, I could not take that roller coaster ride.  Get an IUD for god's sake and even out.[/quote]

I'm very glad that you're not my husband and that my DH has always been understanding, up to and including supporting me not going back on the pill even though it means more of the contraceptive burden is on him. I can't do the IUD (one of which is hormonal, anyway, and likely to cause similar symptoms to the pill) for reasons I won't get into with you, since you're probably too pig-headed to care.

Sex drive ebbs and flows with monthly hormonal changes, synthetic hormones, pregnancy and breastfeeding-induced hormonal changes, as well as changes due to age. I pity your wife.[/quote]

Seems like a pretty convenient excuse to act out and to withhold sex because you are not in the mood.  If your husband is so understanding and wonderful, why don't you have sex with him even though you are not in the mood to show how much you appreciate him?  Why do these hormonal women think the universe must revolve around them when they have their mood swings? [/quote]
