'sigh' Sex talk - need advice

[eofelis]

I am on the Nuva Ring for birth control, and period regulation - and I asked my gyno if she thought that would be decreasing my libido - she said prob not.

I tried the Nuva Ring too. I've had low/no libido for a long time (I'm 38). Plus I've had lots of YI problems. My gyno said the ring may help these, so I tried it. I only used it for 5 days (went back to my pill) b/c I thought it might be irritating me down there.

Anyway, check out this link on the Nuva Ring:

for posts about other women's experiences with the ring. Many speak of lost libidos. There are 30+ pages of posts there!

For now I've gone off all BC. I really don't need it as bf is "fixed" (his choice). Recently, my libido is actually coming back. So I'll see how the trend continues for me there.


I've done a lot of looking around online about lost libidos in women and it seems to quite widespread and I thought that this is quite interesting and unnatural. Is it all the BC hormones? Something cultural/psycological? Environmental/biological? Something just ain't right.
