Good sex symptoms and conditions

I am a 42 year old healthy man that started getting tired of getting up during meetings every hour and a half to urinate. I went to the doctor and he prescribed Flomax. The frequent urination has improved, but the sexual side effects are awful. I first noticed a significant decrease in ejaculate. No big deal. I refrained from ejaculation for a week and this morning, when I had my orgasm I had zero ejaculate. The flomax is in the trash! I can not fix one thing and totally mess up a really good sex life. I sure hope this will not have any long term effects. I'm just trying to honest!!

OMG!!! I thought I was the only one feeling like I was losing my mind on this stuff. Since I've been taking Yaz, I've had zero sex drive. If I'm lucky I might get 20min of a good sex drive. I've also had mood swings that make Naomi Campbell look like a two year old having a tantrum. I've had more arguments with my husband in one day, than I've had in our entire relationship. I cry about everything. Sometimes I cry and I don't even know what I'm crying about. Yaz is the worst thing on the market.

BAD.... I hate it, and you should too.
I was on other BC pills in the past and they also cause the same side effects on me, I took them for 4 years and I quitted, four month later a got pregnant, two month after giving birth I had to get my gall bladder removed ( also a side effect of birth control). I started back on birth control because I in a serious relationship now and we don’t want to have kids at this time.
This pill is giving me lots of problems. I love to have sex with my boyfriend to the point I though I was a nympho and now my sex drive is BAD.....We start very good, and after a few minutes.....I get very dry and that’s the end of it. I hate it. My BF is the hottest men in the world (to me), and we had very good sex, we were like rabbits lol, I always had one or two orgasms, always natural lubricated. Now I get dry and we have to stop, I started the pill a month ago, I take it everyday at the same time, my breast is itching (I guess its growing) as the rest of body too, back pain and very irritable. I'm ready to quite, I’m going to try the IUD or the ring, Today I have the worst migraine and yesterday I had very bad mood swings all day, for not reason, I was seating in a meeting and all the sudden I want it to scream and run and just go off at everybody but a seat there and talk my self out of doing it, by telling my self it was the BC and I need it to come down cuz its nobody’s fault but the stupid hormones, I cry this morning also for no reason. IM DONE WITH THIS PILL. I won’t even recommend to my enemy.(migraines, mood swings, vaginal dryness, low sex drive, back pain, nausea, hungry all the time, breast tenderness, and I guess with all that depression its just natural)

Since having the mirena, I have lost my sense of humor, my sex drive, I get into hideous rages, I feel like I have something crawling under my skin when I have PMT. The PMT hardly ever goes away and as a result my breasts are twice the size they usually are, I have got stretch marks, they seem to swell for three weeks out of four and then I have a small period, when I finish bleeding my breasts swell again as if getting ready for another period. I suffer from headaches, tearfulness, slow witidness (used to laugh a lot). My boyfriend and I used to enjoy a good sex life, now I can't stand him touching me, so if I don't get the mirena out, I will be back on the shelf again, but I don't want a baby, can't take the pill that has an awful affect and the other copper coil made me bleed for two weeks at a time. What is a gal to do? Think I'll pull it out myself I feel that furious with having this alien inside of me. Plus I go running lots and do circuits at the gymn and am up a dress size since the mirena doh! Am sick!

Wow, this is all pretty scary. I'm 44 and had the Mirena inserted 3 years ago. Man it was so painful. I was warned beforehand though. I am childless and my family Dr. thought it would be best if a GYN did the insert so I choose that route...and there was one in her office. The pain of having that inserted was pretty severe but I've never been in a hospital or even had a broken bone so I just chalked it up to me being a wimp. If I take a step back and think about it, I've been fortunate enough to never have experienced PMS or cramping....I just had hormonal migraines for years. This was my reason for going with the Mirena as per my Dr's suggestion. I was not told to wait until I started my period, just to get the prescription filled and make an appointment. Thankfully I had insurance because that is one expensive puppy.

Aside from the constant cramps (which a friend pointed out were menstrual cramps), I had this incredible pressure in my lower right side. Sort of felt like a ball wedged into my ovary or something. My migraines went away immediately though and for that I was grateful. Then the weight gain hit and I spoke to my Dr. about it and she advised that it had no connection to the Mirena. Next came the lack of energy and tiredness. Again I was told it had nothing to do with the Mirena. By this time I am gaining weight, can't even go for a walk and don't even want to think about sex. I've sprouted facial hair that is very embarrassing and get cranky at the drop of a hat.

After 3 years of having the Mirena I am finally beginning to connect the dots. I spoke to my new family Dr. and asked her if she thought these changes to my body could be related to my IUD...without even knowing what I had, she asked me if it was a Mirena. When I said yes, she ordered up some blood work to see what changes have been occurring to my body. Prior to my getting the Mirena my original Dr. told me that my testosterone level was very high so I must have a good sex drive. Now I don't even want to think about having sex as I am too dry and not interested. I've had to ensure my partner that it is not him or has anything to do with how I feel about him.

I hope once my blood work comes back that I will get some answers to my medical issues. If I have to have this thing out, I hope it is not as painful as it was going in. And, if I have to have it out I hope my migraines don't come back.

I was on Loestrin 24 for about a year, but had to stop and try another because it seemed to not be working for me anymore. I gained 1/2 a cup size (which I don't need), experienced bad mood swings and increased swing emotions, and I developed a rash underneath my breasts, behind my knees, and in the crease of my elbows. I had thought that the rash was my own sensitive skin reacting, but it was not the case. This pill was not good for me, and I hope any woman who is considering it reads these postings and declines it. I now take Yaz, and so far so good! Sex drive has returned and no more bleeding.

I've posted before about the side effects I've experienced and wanted to report that my sex drive, while not the same as it was before, is much better, and I've had some really good sex.

I understand that I could be spotting off and on for months, but I've had MAYBE 5 consecutive days without any sort of bleeding since I had it put in over a month ago. I'm nearing another two weeks of having my period.

If it weren't for instead menstrual cups, I'd have no sex life at all. I can handle it but I admit, it's starting to make me a little crazy having to wear something ALL THE TIME. I hope it ends soon!

I am 26 yrs old and I have been on Nuvaring for about 3-3 1/2 years. I thought this was the greatest thing not having to remember the pill and the short light periods. I have always sworn by this BC! I have been having side effects I never thought came from the ring until now. I have read a lot of the side effects others are having and I think my lack of sexual desire for the past 1 1/2 yrs. MAY be due to Nuvaring and not my getting married 2 yrs. ago. (lol) I also have headaches often, not bad ones but enough to carry Tylenol in my purse. And another is dryness before intercourse, that I never had a problem with 2 yrs. ago. I never put two and two together until I racked my brain and wondered why I struggled so badly with my lack of sexual desire. I could care less if I have sex or not! That just wasn't me 2 yrs ago! I just couldn't figure out what had changed, going back on any medicines I had taken the past 2 yrs., the Nuvaring is the only thing that was constant. I have a Dr. Appt today and I am going to discontinue use of the ring and see if the side effects subside like they have for some others. I will post again when I have an update. Please let me know if anyone else is having the side effects more than a year after using the Nuvaring!! Thanks!

Hello,

I read about how YAZ birth control pill affects the body and psych and I am now scared. This is my 2nd day of YAZ (I've never been on birth control pills ever and I am 27 years old), it's all new to me but after reading all these negative posts about Yaz I don't know what to do. Before the birth control pills, I was depressed, annoying, serious weight problems - 210 lbs :~~((, low energy, low libido, always tired, terrible migraines every 2nd day, ridiculously increased appetite and excessive hunger, hair where it shouldn't be, menstrual blood clots, excessive cramping etc
I have all these problems for 3 years now and now that the family doc. put me on YAZ birth control pill I am even more scared - mainly of more weight gain, it would be a tragedy for me, I am fat enough already and what's worse I can't lose the weight, exercise doesn't help, diet doesn't help, NOTHING. Will YAZ birth control pill worsen my already tragic condition? I just don't know what to do and what to believe ... I appreciate any advice or help you can give me ... Thank You to all!

I am calling my doctor and having this thing removed ASAP. I've had it in for three months, and at first everything was fine. But lately, I almost feel as though I'm going crazy. Insomnia. Terrible mood swings and anger. Getting beyond mad and upset at simple things. My heart feels like its beating ridiculously fast - like I'm having heart palpitations or an anxiety attack. I feel like I'm in a pressure-cooker. I get unreasonably mad at my dear husband and children, which leaves me feeling so awful and terrible to be acting this way. My hair falls out in gobs, and I have a puffy tummy that is soooo not normal. I haven't had a good sex drive in years, but now the thought of sex makes me almost want to throw-up. I feel like I'm going crazy. Any problems in my life seem amplified, and I feel completly overwhelmed - and I really shouldn't feel this bad. Kids wear you out, and messes around the house are tiresome, but the commotion shouldn't make me feel this NUTS!

I have been on Yasmin for a little less then a month. Since I've been on it, my husband and I haven't had sex, not once...we tried once, but it hurt me after about five minutes because, well, I guess I wasn't "ready" anymore. I'm only 20 and I had a pretty good sex life before Yasmin. Is this a side effect of Yasmin or could it be from other things going on? I don't lead a very stressful life and nothing's changed in my lifestyle besides Yasmin.

I am 51 years old i have been taking this medication for over 20 years. I was taking 2 pills a day which was helping me a quite a bit. My son was just born when i started and he is now going to be 20 years old. I have servere arthritis on my knees and i need to have knee replacement on both knees. No im taking this darvocet 4 or sometimes 5 a day and it really helps me to stay on my feet. I cannot stand on my feet for over 10 minutes i'm in pain and i want to cry. I am on disability and this pill has help me to much . It also gives me energy makes me want to be on my feet cleaning and also helps me with my sex drive. I want to be with a man for a longer period of time, and yes i feel a little sleepy so i rest when i want to , i can take a nap at least twice if i want too. If i want to stay up all day i do its all a mind thing. It does give me a little stomach pain if i take it with a empty stomach, other wise it really helps me . I will take this medication for as long as i have to because i do not want to have surgery on my knees. I also have back pain but i feel fine when i take my medication. I also take naproxen 500 mg and lisinipril 20mg all in total i take 5 different medications twice a day. But i will not stop taking my darvocet because without it i feel weak, i cannot move without feeling pain all over. I feel like im 80- years old when im not taking my pills, but i feel like im 30 years old when i taking this medication it really makes me feel energetic , happy , very good sex drives and i can live with this forever. Hope this will help someone, who is confused, about this drug. I have 6 sisters with the same problems knee problems and my mother who is 68 years old and she also takes this for pain.

I loved Yasmin at first. Helped with Acne and facial hair. Periods manageable and sometimes very light. Some PMS, but normal. I had breast tenderness that went away after about 4-5 months.
6 months into it. Severe anxiety and panic attacks. 8 months. Headaches that lasted 24 hours. Very specific spots that I could point to and other times all over pain. Also head sensations and dizzyness very regularly. OTC pain meds didn't work. Nothing helped. CT scan- that was clear. Migrain meds - pointless. Narcotics (Xanex) has become a regular pill to take. Scary.
10 months into it. Leg pains in my calves.
The anxiety, headaches, dizzyness, aches and pains...all of it I didn't attribute to the pill and then suddenly....I just said "it's got to be the pill" My quality of life is horrible.
And so after 12 months on Yasmin, I just stopped yesterday and I'm praying that I will feel normal in a few days.
I wish it would have worked b/c I thought it was working so well for me. No weight gain, good sex drive, clear skin. I was boasting about it to all my girlfriends for months.
It's very disappointing, but at the same time, I am glad to be going hormone free again.

Good luck to all!
