Hello ladies!!! I have a question about the birth control I am currently taking. My doctor put me on Lo Estrin 24 about two months ago and I ever since then I have had NO desire to be intimate with my husband. I have also noticed that I get angry real easily. Have any of you had this problem while on Lo Estrin 24? Any advice will be great!
Thank you all!!

What can I do next?

Hi L.,

BC pills often take 3 months to get used to. That said, if it's driving you crazy, ask your doctor to change your pill. Tell him/her about your side effects. Hormone levels in specific pills are often known for certain side effects. For example, I cannot take a tri-phasic pill, such as Ortho tri-cyclen, because it will give me awful migraines. Every woman is different which is why there are so many options!

Best of luck!

Yes I always had issues with any hormone pill. I became angry easily, was paranoid and jealous, and had no desire for intimacy. I don't take birth control now and haven't for over 15 years. I got the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Dr. Toni Weschler and have successfully avoided and achieved pregnancy with her methods.

GL!
