No sex drive after stopping birth control?

[Jesslin412]

I stopped taking my birth control in July and I have no sex drive. We have only had sex once in two weeks when we usually had sex every few days. I just have no desire. And it doesn’t seem to bother him at all. Are we going to be ok?

my ob told me the same thing with me having a baby.. low or little estrogen and no sex drive.

BC pills have estrogen and progestren in them...

See if your ob can give you estrogen shots to help...

I remember a prev post of yours and if i remember, you said he dint have much interest or variety in sex anyway.

A lot of marriages are sex deserts or not at all..

as long as you communicate, that is important... talk to your hubby about him helping you get in the Mood.. a lot of your desire comes from him.

what are you worried about? he had sex often when you wanted sex often, and now you dont and he's okay with it too. i would feel so at ease that there isn't a pressure to keep up with him whatso ever. whats wrong? :(

BC pills work by changing hormonal levels. Coming off of those hormones will take the body a bit of time to adjust and get back in line. Don't worry about your husband till you regain your drive. That may perk him up again. If not, he may need a medical checkup.

It's ok. It's a common side effect once people stop the pill. The normal hormonal regulations should start in around a month and you would be back to normal 😉😊. FYI u might have a little excess flow in ur next cycle.

I’m at 2 months not taking it. But hubby doesn’t seem to mind either 😞

I guess it's just the final phase of passing out of the honeymoon phase. It's unfortunately something that happens to all. At a certain point people tend to naturally aroused again. I'd say don't stress on it. The spark will come and go. But I'd suggest you don't try to force it on yourself

far beyond okay. why isn't he receptive to you working out your issues?

[SeanshterMonster]

i dont see how that would be bad, less sex is better. they can spend more time with hobbies and acually doing things together

[Sevenpointfive]

@SeanshterMonster something happened and they've realized they weren't meant for each other

[SeanshterMonster]

becuase of less sex? really? why do people judge the health of a relationship based on sex?

[Sevenpointfive]

@SeanshterMonster it's a guy thing. especially when you don't get to have sex very often

[SeanshterMonster]

thats not a guy thing. its just a think for people obsessed with sex and who are consumed by it

[Sevenpointfive]

@SeanshterMonster eh, most guys are obsessed with it

[SeanshterMonster]

I've seen a lot of men and women obsessed with sex and i dont get it. i found it quite painful my first time and even then it took a lot to get into it cause of some trama in the past

[Sevenpointfive]

@SeanshterMonster i totally understand. it takes more than sex for me to enjoy a person. i have to know the person before the sex. that's when sex is euphoric

[SeanshterMonster]

i agree, for me i need to fall in love and work up to it so im comfortable. I've been raped in the past by a guy and thats why its so hard for me. it can take like awile to work up to it

[Sevenpointfive]

@SeanshterMonster that's very tragic. that is a nightmare for me which you live with everyday. you can add me and DM me if you'd like to talk more about it.

Only time will tell

[SeanshterMonster]

sure you two are. now you have more time to do other things and not waste time with such a meaningless act.

[Philyouup]

Hmmm. He never seemed to have any drive. With your hormonal change, it may take some time to normalize. Perhaps a conversation with your gyno is warranted.

[Jesslin412]

I just saw one Thursday for the first time. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I go back in a couple weeks

[COMMODOREII]

Yeah i think you will. Your body just needs to adjust to the lower hormonal changes from not taking your birth control. Once your body stabilizes you will gain that libido back. If you feel you need more answers contact your gynecologist.

[Yellovv]

Try to talk with him..

[Jesslin412]

I need to but I don’t know where to start

[Yellovv]

İf you can't talk with him, that's real problem..
