So I've been on the pill for about 2 years. I've always had an alternating sex drive. ie. sometimes I'll be in the mood everyday for a couple of weeks, then I'll have no interest in sex whatsoever.
I finally have my first serious relationship, we've been dating for almost 5 months and it started off really great. The sex was amazing and we were always up for it, having lots of fun. Lately, for the past month or so, it seems I've lost my sex drive. It's frustrating because he has a really strong sex drive and I'm often pushing him away, because I'm "not in the mood." I wish I was, and I want to be able to have sex but I simply can't enjoy it. I love my boyfriend; he's fantastic and turns me on but I just don't have the desire to do it!
I'm 20. I've had a couple of medical problems lately (ie. a UTI) and I started iron pills because I was slightly anemic. But I was wondering if it could be because of the pill, bringing me down? I used to be so damn horny in highschool. Now, it always flickers and it's terribly aggravating. I did recently discover lube which has helped when I am in the mood, makes it less painful/more enjoyable. But is there anything I could try to bring back my sex drive full-time rather than part-time?
Any advice/suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks!
