Wow, it has been a long time since i posted on here. Alright well my girl friend has been on B/c for about 5 months now, and she only has one major side affect, if she doesn't eat anything before she takes it, she wakes up and feels sick. The minor side affect is that her sexual drive has diminished to nothing, and I mean nothing.
Which i find kind of ironic, u take B/c not to get pregnant when u have sex, but this removes her want to have sex.
So what this comes down too is, has this been a side affect for you and how did u over come it, any advice on what to do. She misses having sex, yes we are in love and thats why she misses it, but just has no drive for it. She will get horney for like 3 minutes and just before we start doing stuff it goes away. So what should i do??

Welcome back, BassMan!Is she on any other medication? It seems she should be trying other brands - what brand is she on?
-
she is on Tricylin (sp?) and no other medication. She doesn't wanna try and different ones because she is glad how minor the side affects are. I try everything to get her going but nothing works. she mostly gets horney during her period, but we both agree that we don't want too during that time. So I'm kinda stuck.

I wouldn't call completely losing your sex drive a minor side-effect.The manufacturer's literature on Ortho Tri-cyclen is here. Nausea is listed as a possible side-effect, and loss of libido as a 'possible, unproved' side-effect.I think it would be worth trying a different brand.

i had the same side effects when i was on bc, i stopped taking it and after about a month i was back to normal. maybe she should try another brand or method. i heard the shot was good, but id never try it lol

With her and needles there is not a chance in hell. I actually am going to the doctor with her so she can get the Gardacile(sp?) shots(the HPV and cervical cancer shot)But i doubt she will try another one. But I'll talk to her. I just feel totally selfish because if u think about it, I am the only one losing in this situation.

She may well feel the loss of her sex drive as a sad loss too.

well actually i don't think the side affect lasts forever, cuz we did it today and it was amazing. Now i personally have only one complaint but it doesn't belong in this forum, so if ur interested in helping look around in the sex forums.
