Re: Alternatives to oral contraceptives/ ways to increase sex drive?

Thanks for the suggestion! I've only ever been familiar with the standard copper IUDs (Paragard) since I've only ever seen them used as an alternative to hormonal birth control (and since it seems to be the one with the most reviews). I'll be sure to ask!

Re: Alternatives to oral contraceptives/ ways to increase sex drive?

Alright- first off, I'm sorry that my response is so late. I'm so thankful for how thought-out your responses have been, and I didn't want to send another message without following through with anything first. So, I talked to my partner. Let me just say first that, WOW, I had no idea how helpful tha...

Re: Alternatives to oral contraceptives/ ways to increase sex drive?

If my endo had another treatment I'd like to try it. As it is, I'm not confident enough in my current method to be super effective- or at least, I've looked into IUDs and think it's much safer, and I know my partner wants to try vaginal sex without having to use a condom all the time. One thing I di...

Re: Alternatives to oral contraceptives/ ways to increase sex drive?

Our relationship started off online, yes. I've always wanted to be physical with him, but at the time when we first started dating, I think it was for the best that we had the distance between us. I was way too nervous about sex and I didn't want to disappoint him. We've planned visits before, and n...

Re: Alternatives to oral contraceptives/ ways to increase sex drive?

Oh wow! I didn't expect to get such a quick reply! I'm perfectly fine with answering any questions, I just want to see if there is a way I can solve this problem. I think within the first year or so of using my OCs, my sex drive was fine enough- I was still with my current partner, and while we were...

Alternatives to oral contraceptives/ ways to increase sex drive?

I've been using birth control to help treat my hormonal imbalance (excess testosterone) for a good few years now. I'm considering starting a serious sexual relationship with my partner, but I've found that my sexual desires have decreased to the point that I'm rarely in the mood when he wants get th...
