Sexual intercourse symptoms and conditions

I went on this website and read all of these helpful comments before starting loestrin24fe. After reading them i have to admit i was nervous because of all of the negatives i read about. I am starting my 3rd pack of loestrin24fe and i have to say i have not experienced many side effects. Some minor nausea the first week, minimal spotting for 3-4 days week 3 of the 2nd pack and larger breasts. However,.....my worst symptom which is affecting my relationship is my loss of sex drive!!!! Since starting this pill, i have no desire to have sex and sexual intercourse is just painful and not pleasurable at all!! is anyone else feeling this way

During my first go at Loestrin 24 everything was fine other than the fact of me not getting a period for 5 months. That freaked me out so I quit taking them, Went back to the doctor and she reassured me that I was just one of the few lucky ones. So I got back on the pill and it has been about 2 months and having lots of issues this time. Now I am bleeding every time I have sexual intercourse with my husband. Not spotting a heavy flow for the entire next day. Also I have gained 5lbs in 2 months might I ad I lost 8 in the 2 months being off the pill..

I was taking Femcon for 6 months. During this time, my sex drive was terrible. I was unable to have normal sex due to dryness in my vaginal area. I've never had this problem before in my life. My fiance noticed a difference in my body during sexual intercourse while I was taking the pills. We knew that this was something unusual, because we have been together for 4 years now. I contacted my doctor and she advised that I come off the pill and try Sprintec. This is my first month on Sprintec so I hope that it is a whole lot better than Femcon. After all, I don't need a problem with satisfying my fiance' or my own personal needs.

i had the mirena fitted 6 months ago, ive not had many side affects but two. one is the sexual intercourse is very painfull with cramping for up to two days after. The other is that ive had weight gain and no matter how much i exercise and diet i cannot shift weight. Went to have mirena removed and threads have gone up inside me, have now got, to go to hospital and have it out under aneasthetic. Mirena is bad news find alternative.

I have been on NR for 5 months. I have experience all of the symptoms metioned in these postings. I have to tell you its a relief to hear I'm not the only one. I feel like I'm falling apart. My periods are about 2 days of brown spotting, the nightsweats are terrible. I know its summer but for no reason I just break out into a sweat and not only at night. Also I have been having kidney pain and what are described as "ice pick headaches". I didnt see these mentioned here. Anyone else feel it? It also feels like I have something in my stomache but it turns out its all the bloating. I also read one poster how she would drink and drink and not go to the bathroom. That happens to me too. I will be making an appt to see my OBGYN to discuss other options.

My sexual activity has deteriorate after taking Levoxyl. There has been data posted on the internet that negative fertility impact is a side effect of Levoxyl. I have not taken other medication since I noticed the change is the sperm amount, sexual duration, and erectile loss quickly during sexual intercourse. I am not sure if this is because of Levoxyl or age, but I am 36 years old and excercise once in a while. I am going to excercise more often, but am not sure if this will change the sexual dysfunctions I am experiencing. Be careful and talk to your doctor if you take Levoxyl.

I have been taking Levoxyl for several years now. I am not taking other medications for the last several years that I have not taken before Levoxyl. I have noticed less sperm produced and lower sexual endurance during sexual intercourse. Although my free testosterone appears in the normal range and my sperm seems to be fertile, I have concerns that Levoxyl may impact my sexual activity and potentially impact my reproduction capabilties in the future.

had painful cramps after insertion, bled continuously for 3 months (spotting), mild acne on chin area, depression, loss of appetite, listlessness, lethargy

hi me and my friend monique took these birth controll pills called "YASMIN" and we feel pretty sick. we dont even have sexual intercourse and we still took them and they were her sisters. we dont know for sure if the stomach ache (nauseaous feelings in our stomach) is from the birth controll that we took.. if you could please tell us he answer and how serious this is, we would very much apreciate it. Thank You..

I was previously on Trivora which has a high estrogen level. Unfortunately, it gave me headaches every night at the time it was to take my pill (give or take 30 minutes). So my gynecologist insisted on going to the bottom of the scale seeing that the estrogen was what was giving the problem. I was then perscribed Aviane 28. This pill has given me more problems than I could have ever imagined.

The list is as follows: weight gain (20 lbs.), mood swings, swelled/tender breasts around 8-9 days before period, alternation between increased and decreased appetite, spotting/breakthrough bleeding. Basically the pregnancy symptoms. It's actually very frustrating because the purpose of the pill is to REGULATE hormones and to prevent pregnancy.

I've been on this pill for about 7 months now and have just (in the past 2 months) noticed spotting. As furiating as it is, my periods became so light, it seemed like they were alomst not existing. This persists and becomes worse every month.

Throughout the past months, I have encountered no sexual intercourse which is why I found the symptoms quite odd. I researched many different side effects but none stated the amount of spotting that was occuring. Again, this month, I have had spotting.. beginning in a dark brown and now, a bright red thin texture(sometimes clotts). There are times that I'm thinking of it stopping but other times that I go back to the bathroom and only notice it when wiping. I'm not sure if I'm the only one experiencing this, but it would be nice to see that someone else has related problems.

I am on my second pack of yasmin. So far i am not really
satisfied with it because it has been nothing but a
rollercoaster, and uncertainties. I dont even feel like the pill
is working. Maybe thats just my paranoia. My side effects
have been pretty bad. First of all i smoke and i frequently get
major heart pains. (im working on quiting smoking) I have
had a very unusual and uncontrolable smelly vaginal
discharge. Even after months of no sexual intercourse. The
week that i was taking the reminder pills (during menstration)
I literally went psycho. I ended up getting fired from my job
for cursing at a kid, i threatend to move, and all of this for no
reason at all. I did use the ortho evra patch prior to the
yasmin pill and i was way more satisfied with the patch. Oh and to the woman who commented on the questioning her sexuality. I have been a homophobe for my whole life, recently i have become attracted to girls. I think it has a lot
to do with the hormones just making the libido out of control.
some women say that their sex drive has fallen, mine has
skyrocketed, just in the opposite way lol.

Hello Everyone! I am so happy that I found this site. I was considering getting off yasmin, for about 2 months, but my fiance begged me not to. I used to have a very high metabolism. I was actually struggling to maintain my weight, but now, after gaining about 25 pounds over the course of 2 years, I decided that it could be related to Yasmin. I was happy with my new curves, but sadly, they just keep growing. I have also been prone to depression, which I link to my wonder pill. I have been off for about 2 weeks and have never felt better. I've read that many of you are having problems with your heart beats, and honestly, it scares me to death. I've experience leg cramps, which subsided after about 1 1/2 years on the pill, weight gain, increased acne, and rapid mood swings, which doubled during the week leading to my period. I also used to get pains during that week, after sexual intercourse, that is when I was in the mood, which was never. As long as I didn't climax, I would have no pain, but who wants to have sex when you are huddled over in pain, on the toilet, and throwing up. It felt like I was in labor. I hated having sex. Every time I enjoyed it, I was punished, by my own body. I told my OB/GYN about this and he said that he had never heard of that reaction during intercourse. He said that I could be allergic to my fiance's sperm. What is that? It must have been my sperm, because he had no issues climaxing. I thought that there was something mentally wrong with me, but I guess not, right? And, as an addition to my problems, as if there was not enough, I went to my Gynecologist about a year after I started takin Yasmin, and I was surprised to to find that I had, within 1 year of a healthy pap, been diagnosed with cervical displasia, which was only 1 stage away from full blown cervical cancer, yeah for me! I have never had any issues with my paps. I have a 5 year old daughter and was on a low dose hormone pill, until I stopped nursing. I had break through bledding, so they recommended Yasim, because, as I understaood, it was the Fort Knox, of all BC's. Funny, Right? 2 weeks post yasmin, I felt an increase in my libido, and I fell less puffy, if you know what I mean. I know that I am probably missing something, but these are the most detrimental issues. If anyone has had an issue with pain and nausea related to climaxing, please let me know, and please, everyone reading this, stay away from Yasmin. I have a friend that just starting taking it, and I plan on having her read all of the posts on this site, so keep them coming.
Thanks,
Lizzibug

I have recently started taking the Orthotricyclen pill. I have had nothing but trouble. I have diabetes, and therefore it has completely screwed up my bloodsugar. This is fine. I have finally found a way to control them. But, I am having some other adverse effects. I am nausiated, EXTREMELY moody, very weird dreams, tired most of the time, etc. But I do have a question. I have slight crampiness in my lower abdomen. It is the same type of cramping (or uneasy feeling) that I get the day before my period. I do not know if this is normal. It does have me a bit concerned. I was told by my doctor that it is better if you do not have sexual intercourse after taking it, up to two weeks after. I was dumb however and did anyways. I am worried that the symptoms that I am having may be that I got pregnant even though I am taking the pill. (I had all of these symptoms when I was pregnant before) If these are normal symptoms, please let me know. (I haven't read anything about other people cramping...only uneasiness, not full on cramp)

Weight gain and my already huge appetite has increased, along with my boobs - not complaining there though!
Constantly tired and some days need to sleep during the day. Mood swings and cramps throughout the month. Spots on chest and back. Constantly thirsty and weeing all the time. Always feel like i need to wee even after having been. During sexual intercourse, i wet myself at orgasm, which have never done before and is not nice. The constant need to use the toilet is getting a joke. Have been taking yasmin for just under a year and didn't really think Yasmin could be the cause of the above until recently, I am going to stop taking yasmin and see if things change.
