"when i first went on the pill, it was to help with my pmdd, which i will say, helped significantly. however, i have noo sex drive. i used to masturbate at least once or twice every day but now i&#039;m lucky if i can even make myself orgasm in a month. orgasms don&#039;t feel very good anymore and nothing turns me on. sex is painful and boring. other than that, it did make my periods a bit shorter which is one positive of this pill. the first week i was on the pill i was super queasy ugh! some other side effects have been weight gain (only about 3-5 pounds but still), and horrible acne in the first 3 months. i&#039;m seeing my obgyn soon because my low sex drive is hurting my relationship and makes life miserable."
