Contraception: The Pill vs. The Injection
15 Answers
Hello!
I posted a while ago about my problems with my (lack of) sex drive and I was hoping for a bit more advice. Can anyone point me in the direction of where I might be able to find out the pros and cons of each type of contraception please. I am currently on The Pill but am hoping to change to something more suitable. Does the injection lower your sex drive as Ther Pill is known to ?
Thank you in advance, c~s

How about good ol' non hormone contraception? and alas, I cannot really comment on low sex drive. I know Viagra can be taken by women though lol.... I got offered some by my doc hehe.... cos' of my m.s. I said no regrettably, (I could have sold them and made a bit ) and I told the doc that pushing the right buttons is all he needs to do ;)
Hi. I've been on the injection for four years now.
The biggest plus for me is no periods and no PMT. Haven't noticed any change in my sex drive compared to the pill but I know that's not the same for everybody.
On the down side, I have put on weight and finding it hard to lose ( not helped by the fact that I'm a greedy cow, just before someone comes on to tell me I'm only making excuses ) but again this can happen to people on the pill.
Plus, I've heard that using it for longer than 5 years can mess the calcium in your bones and put you at greater risk of oesteoperosis.
Another downside - but one that I don't personally care about - is that it can take longer to conceive when you come off it because it can take a long while to come off it.
I final word of caution is that if you think a brand of pill is diagreeing with you you can stop taking it at any time but once you'vehad the injection you just have to live with it.
Not been a great advert for it, I realise, but it really has worked for me and was definitely the best choice for me out of the options available ( which didn't include the pill ) .

There aint no such thing as a lack of sex drive in my book sue honey, its just been misplaced. now you listen to old Buck and we'll soon have your malfunctioning juicer fixed and primed for the red hot ride of your life. Firstly tell that randy old cowpoke of yours he's gonna have to hang up his shooter for a while cos mamma aint gonna be taken no pills or wearing no caps. then when you're all squared away and natural like see how you is progressing in the lovin feelin way. If you gets the irrisistable urge to hank his panky use a condom or two if you fancy dancin with old mr long here. see i figure the trials of life have distracted mr sue from his tender ways and he might need a bit of a romantic boot up his hide the fool .
When your holy waters do start their ressurection you must do sexy things girl, like pruning your shrubbery and may ol' buck say it take to wearing skirts with no panties like and going outdoors with nothin but sunshine to keep the old boy at bay.
its buck's destiny to put you back in workin order ma'am
thankyou

have nt read the other posts, but i have been on 'microgynon'for about 15 years give or take.........the only thing i know is that they wont give you the injection if your depressed..........
if you have a low sex drive it could be that you are not feeling great about yourself or an illness or maybe like i said in a depressed state of mind.I dont know personally how the injection would effect your sex drive other than its a hormone.....which can effect all different kind of things.
talking to a understanding doctor will help....nothing worse than having no sex drive or lack of..........it made me feel less of a woman or inadaquate perhaps.... all the best

hi curly sue, ive been on the pill for 6 years now, and have found my sex drive has gone lower and lower too. i told the doc and shes been putting me on diffeent pills but none make a difference. also to try not taking it and see how you feel, it takes six months for your hormones to return to normal so its a long winded process!!!
is ur partner understanding?
