I know that for each person, the pill can be very different. For me, I definitely enjoy sex when my boyfriend and I actually are having it, though I found it took a lot for me to actually say "Okay let's go". I am very comfortable with him, we share everything so talking to him about it is not a problem. My problem is not really "new", though I didn't notice it as a "problem" until a few months ago. I thought maybe it was something wrong with me or my personality. Only recently did I suspect it was the pill, because I had seen a column about it in a magazine. I waited a few weeks and then asked to switch pills. It's only my first week in, so I can't really tell if it will make a difference but I hope it does. I just was curious if the Ortho was especially known for diminsihing sex drives in women, and/or if Loestrin can possibly correct that due to the percentages of medicine in each pill. I guess it varies from person to person. Thanks again for your help! -Kim
