May be TMI - Sex Drive

Exercise!

I went through a really lethargic period not long ago and though it was hard to get started exercising, once I did I had a lot more energy.

oh thank god, I am not the only one!

It is sooo frusterating. I work in job where I am stressed out and exhausted all the time, so I am too tired during the week. FH (bless his heart), doesnt excpect any lovin on a weekday bc of it, and we actually joke about it. But, when I do get in the mood, he isnt because he is sleepy, and vice versa. So it is actually comical. It is really frusterating though...I am on Yaz, that doesnt help. Alcholol definitely does (lol). I really think it comes down to stress for me at least...

i think i need to change my BC pills. i've been on the same one for 8 years

---

i just tried three different pills bc i was having the same problem. none of them made a huge increase but the best was yaz for me.

---

has it given you any different side effects? i'm on ortho now and once i changed to the generic brand and i had break through bleeding and my face broke out so i had to switch back. did anything change for you when you switched pills?

---

no side effects....actually i think i'm losing weight much easier now then before, so that would be a positive side effect!

I was going to post this same question but I was I have a low one too and I think its directly related to being on BC. I have been on the pill for 10 years...

too funny

My drive went downhill b/c of the BC pills. Has not rebounded much, but drinking and FH (when he turns it up a notch) help a lot. I would definitely advise to excercise. Do something to get your endorphins going...that will get the juicing flowing.

Toys.

There, I said it.

There is a great store in the city called Toys in Babeland that is so female-oriented and so NOT skeevy. You can't help but want to buy something fun there!

Just sayin'!

Here's their site: Toys in Babeland

got those already lol

It's the excitement factor. When I was with my ex for 5 yrs I started to feel this way and thought it was the pill, my job, etc... All factors related to me. Like I was the broken one. Then I broke up with him and started to date FH-- Holy cr@p I couldn't get enough (2-3+ times a day, every time we hung out, like 4-5 days a week)! I thought I was fixed, problem solved!
Well, now it's been 4 years and... here we go again. I was watching a show at it said to just force yourself to do it. Because, most likely, you will enjoy the moment and the sex will be good. So literally- just do it.

I feel like I'm having the same problem, but I might try changing BC. I changed a couple years ago and my sex drive was worse! I went back on Yasmin and it was a little better. I'm due for an appointment soon, so maybe I'll inquire about Yaz.

I'm sure exercise has a lot to do with it, but I can't bring myself to get up and go! When I first met FH, I was so active and we were like WHOA in the sack... He's the same still, but I'm different and I hate it. I'm kinda disgusted and annoyed by it too.
