Inability to orgasm symptoms and conditions

Hi everyone. I posted on here in Jan. 09 about how NR ruined me. After two months of a-okay, I developed terrible yeast infections, constant bleeding, and a complete inability to orgasm- under my own ministrations or otherwise. I went off NR after the third month and left my system clear for 1 month. Then I got back on my previous method of BC: orthotricyclin pills. I am happy to report that after 7 months, I am finally able to orgasm again, nearly as often as before the whole ordeal. I was terrified that that joyous experience would be lost forever. IT'S GOING TO BE OKAY! Wait it out. Stupid evil nuvaring.

I was on the pill for about 4 years, but I got really tired of taking it every day. I got kind of lax with it so I decided it was a good idea to change. I considered depo, but I know it causes weight gain and takes a really time to get out of your system. My doctor said nuvaring was her favorite form of birth control for college students, so I tried it.I didn't understand my side effects at first either, the first two months seemed okay. Then:
-A month of bleeding.
-Monthly yeast infections (never a problem before.)
-Complete inability to orgasm (never a problem before.)

I am clinically depressed (on medication for 5 years) and nuvaring didn't seem to affect that.

I'm getting off this evil, evil thing next week and hopefully will get my orgasms back. Anyone know anything about implanon?

I have been taking 150 mg Wellbutrin SR twice a day for about a month now. It has lifted and stabilized my mood to a lifesaving degree. I feel like I have "me" back and my life back after suffering through a very deep depression for approx. a year. My only negative side effects are a bit of cystic acne, which I haven't had since college (I am 45 now) and breast tenderness all month long rather than just before my cycle. I have started using Proactive for the acne and it is working well. I guess I'll just live with the breast tenderness if it means having my life back! I have also had a few positive side effects, namely, my libido which was completely dead has started to re-emerge, and I am eating less, although I haven't lost any weight yet. (I used to have a compulsive desire to binge and that has waned.) I have more energy but whether this is due to the Wellbutrin or just ot being in a fog of depression, I can't say. Overall, Wellbutrin has been a very positive medication for me. I have used Prozac and Zoloft in the past and they neither worked as well on my mood and also had many unbearable side effects (weight gain, loss of libido, inability to orgasm to name a few). I'm hoping once I have been stabilized for a while the doctor will allow me to lower my dose and perhaps then the breast tenderness will go away.

Anorgasmia (inability to orgasm) was the only symptom I had. No weight gain. Actually in addition to the anorgasmia, I had no sex drive, and no drive to be physically "close" to anyone (hugs, etc). I ended up going off because I felt that I could but I got MAJOR headaches despite the fact that I tapered off VERY slowly.

paragard is the IUD that I have-I don't know why it's not listed on here--but here goes---i got the copper iud and it has zero hormones in it! so you don't gain any weight and i have actually lost weight by having it! it has its downsides though--heavier periods that last about 7 days--give or take--i have not had any break through bleeding between periods. you will cramp before you start but midol will take care of it. i'd like to add that in my case, the first period i had was about like the ones i have now but it felt like i was literally having contractions that came about 10 min. apart---though i haven't ever had kids--it hurt!!!! but that was the only time and i have had it for 3 years--i think its like a foreign body that your uterus isn't used to--but it stopped after a few days so don't worry---and you may not ever have that happen so --unlike the mirena--you don't gain weight--hope this helped a little for anyone interested.

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!
