There are many types of hormonal birth control options. Birth control pills are a very popular form of birth control because they are affordable, convenient and effective. Depo-Provera is another type of hormonal birth control. It is given by injection every three months and one injection prevents you from getting pregnant for up to 13 weeks.

I was previously taking the Mercilon birth control pill for about a year before stopping. Since I started taking the pill for about 2-3mths, I noticed that my usually high-sex-drive has taken a deep dive. Also, I always used to be 'well-lubricated' prior to intercourse. After just about 2 mths of Mercilon, I've virtually dried up. Even now, after 8 mths of going pill-free, my sex drive is still low, & I am still 'dry'. Will this lower my chance of conceiving?

I really liked this article because I am ttc after bcp. It is nice to know that what I am experiencing is somewhat normal. I was on the mini pill though and apparently it can take quite a few months for your body to regulate. This is very informative information that answered a lot of questions I had. Because I was very regular before I went on the pill/off the pill and didn't understand why now I am having long irregular cycles. I recommend this for anyone who is dealing with ttc or thinking of coming off bcp.
