I didn't realize my sex drive was killed by the pill until I was off of it. It was a slow process, losing the sex drive, that is. It was still worth it for me because I get pregnant easy.

There are other forms of birth control that are as effective as the pill that may be better for side effects. I have a friend who had reactions to the pill that could use the ring, for example.

My hubby had a vasectomy (hooray) so I'm not very up on the more current birth control methods, but it would be worth talking to a doctor or if you have a planned parenthood in your area.
