[quote=Anonymous][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]

What an ignorant statement. You have two options with IUD's - hormonal (which can kill a sex drive just like every other kind of hormonal BC) or[b] copper (which is not exceptionally effective[/b] and can result in longer, heavier periods). Do either of those sound preferable?

Glad you're not my DH. He's been more than willing to go along with the roller coaster ride that tends to happen when you IMPREGNATE ANOTHER HUMAN BEING, and has gotten lots of sex throughout the years because he's been so understanding.[/quote]

Whoa, whoa - the copper IUD is incredibly effective. It is over 99% effective. WAY more effective than the pill. I can't find the source, but I believe it and Mirena (the hormonal IUD) have the same level of effectiveness.[/quote]

I've personally known 3 women to get pregnant with a copper IUD in. All miscarried when the IUD was removed.[/quote]
