I got on birth control a couple of years ago after having my first child. Before birth control, I never had much of a sex drive. If I wasn’t in a relationship, I didn’t crave it. Even in my current relationship I was satisfied with only a couple times a week. So it never occurred to me that BC might be affecting me even more.
A couple of months ago I went off BC and there has been an insane increase in my drive. Let’s just say my boyfriend has been pleasantly surprised ever since. Weirdest part is that it’s higher than even before ever being on BC.
I have actually heard of this happening. It is crazy to me how much birth control has an effect on our hormones!
