Relationship suffering because of birth control pill? |
My girlfriend and began suffering tensions in our relationship in November last year, by December/January we were arguing more frequently, and while we still meant a lot to each other, we started having sex less frequently, primarily because of her diminished sexual interest. Since almost 2 months ago, things started getting really difficult, and she became practically asexual, she became aroused only once, but after a LOT of slow,careful work on my part. All this has put a massive strain on our relationship and two weeks ago, after a fight, she said she had no more sexual desire for me and this must be a sign that our relationship had died. However, I know that she has no desire for anyone else either, nor does she have any desire to pleasure herself, when I am not around. In late October, she switched to a strong estrogen-containing pill,her acne cleared up immediately and other signs showed that here testosterone levels were way down.Could this be the cause of all our problems? Yes, I bet ya this is the problem. Besides all this the pill can mess one up so they could have many health problems down the road. My mom took DES, a estrogen drug, when she was pregnant with me and I have never had a sex drive. Is it the cause, who knows but it is suspect even a doctor told me this. I do consider myself as asexual. Diane Yes, when I was on the pill I didn't want to be messed with least of all touched. It could be the pill. She should talk to her doctor about getting a different dosage. Her acne may come back, but her sex drive may increase. estrogen is a strong drug so this could be part of your problems. the only way to be sure is to get her to stop using birth control and star using condoms. Yup. You betcha it could be the cause. I'd bet money on it. She cld use low estrogen pills. Still the useful effects will be there. Having been the one on the pill in a situation like this...yup, the pill was to blame. My husband expressed the same frustrations and I just felt as if I could go without sex forever, there was no appetite there at all. After having an open, calm discussion where we both talked about how we felt without any blame or pointing fingers, I went and spoke to my doctor. The choice I made was to get off the pill. Obviously, your girlfriend will need to speak to her doctor to help decide what is right for her. Please be gentle with each other as you go through this. As silly as it may sound, when the appetite for sex is gone, getting excited about sex felt the same as getting excited about chicken when you are not hungry. Please also know that it may not be you. In our case, it was totally the pill but seeing as how I don't fully know you, your girlfriend or your relationship, this could be an opportunity to examine it openly to better it if applicable. I wish you the best of luck! |
