Thank you so much for sharing all your stories! I had been on Ortho-tri for 13 years. (With headaches, low sex drive, crazy moods). Went of 3 years ago to have children. Within a month or so ALL symptoms were gone. Sex was wonderful again and i was not crazy. So 3 weeks ago i get on Yasmin. Since i've had the joint pain mentioned (figured it was something else i guess), NO sex drive at all, blurred vision (had this before due to anemia), i'm so tired and sad it seems. I couldn't figure it out. Yesterday i started thinking it might be the pill. So i'm stopping the pill today and going back to condoms until my husband gets his vacetomey. I'd rather feel good and use a condom i guess. I wonder if the low sex drive is due to the fact that the pill keeps us from ovulating?? I know i get really in the mood for about a week around the time i normally ovulate. Any thoughts on that? Hang in there ladies! I guess having control over our bodies is not always easy..... :) CB

I have been on the Depo for about 7 years. Yes 7 years and now i am finally starting to listen to my doctor, friends and family advice. So i am not doing no more. My bones are more important. But, it worked so well for me. no periods, nothing just pure excellent. Never been on a BCpill of any sort until 2 months ago. I can't handle it no more. I am DEPRESSED, no sex drive, no appitie but i have the clearest complexion I've ever had in my life. and lost 5- 10 pounds. I don't know why i am depressed. The depo only has progrestion the pill has this and estrogen. is this why? I was going to try another pill, but why, tri-clyclon is such a low dostage. Like i've heard everyone say. Good ol' condoms will have to help me now
