And what am I supposed to do now that I’m going to be one pill short during my period week? Help! I'm honestly panicking and feeling so stupid right now... 😢
I've actually done the exact same thing before... According to Yasmina 7, you should just stop taking them and take a seven-day break. Basically, you take whatever last pill you have left and then wait out the seven days... but now I'm second-guessing myself. Does that mean the seven-day break starts from the very last pill in the pack, or does it start from the last one you actually managed to swallow?
Well, damn, I guess that’s definitely "reliable protection" when you aren't even in the mood for sex anyway...
now I'm just sitting here feeling frustrated :S
Kimberly Flores56 said:It’s the pills, plain and simple. I was on birth control for a full year, and by the end of it, my libido had completely vanished. Don't even get me started on vaginal dryness or how painful intimacy became.
The fact that you aren't ovulating just kills your drive... sure, maybe it's temporary for some, but in my experience, the longer I stayed on them, the lower my desire dropped.
So what am I supposed to do then? If I quit the pill, I have to deal with the hassle of condoms, and I refuse to subject myself—or my partner—to that kind of frustration. So, what’s your actual advice here? How did you personally handle this situation??
So here is the situation... I’ve been with my boyfriend for a year, and we’ve been sleeping together for about ten months now 🤣 (hard to believe how fast time flies), and I’ve been on miscellaneous for five months... and now we hit a wall. About a month ago, I started dealing with what feels like a chronic lack of libido. Things that used to drive me absolutely crazy now either don't do anything for me at all, or they just feel mildly okay—nothing special. Naturally, this has taken a toll on his pleasure too. This all started after my period; interestingly enough, during my period, my drive was actually pretty high. About a week and a half before this whole mess began, I was having some issues with urination, so I went to my doctor and was prescribed antibiotics. I took them religiously and finished the entire course. When I saw my gynecologist last week, she told me it was normal and that I just needed to relax. She suggested it might be the adjustment period for the miscellaneous, but once I mentioned the antibiotics, she said it was more likely the medication caused it and that everything would eventually return to normal. But now I’m spiraling because it’s already been a month. I miss the intimacy so much. What used to be incredible now either fails to trigger any "euphoria," or even worse, it’s physically painful. Occasionally, I’ll find something that works and I’ll reach a climax, but that happens maybe once now, whereas before it happened at least three times per session, and after that, I am completely done. Zero interest in anything else. I even tried watching a movie (haha, call it a cliché, but it was definitely suggestive 😉) and I felt this total mental block right when I should have been getting turned on... I felt nothing. Can anyone help?? Have any of you ever found yourselves in this position? How did you fix it?? Any advice would be a huge help. And I mean REALLY big help. I want to resolve this as soon as possible.
And for all the "know-it-alls" who are going to start spinning theories about me cheating on my boyfriend:
I love my boyfriend deeply; I am incredibly attracted to him and I enjoy every single moment with him. I’ve talked to him about it, and he told me to try to relax and offered various suggestions... oh yeah... he even suggested abstinence, but I couldn't even last three days. The desire is there, it’s just that the realization of that desire is failing me.
Once again... any advice is welcome... please, I'm desperate 🙂
Help me 🙂
