Hi, Kim

I too, have been Ortho for about two years, and have been in a steady relationship for about six (I am 21). Within the last four months or so, I have noticed a steady decline in my sex drive, to the point where it is non-existant. I am not sure if it is the pill, but I recently (as in I am on my second pill) switched to Mircette to see if it is. The problem is though, when I have sex I don't enjoy it, but rather it is painful, so that could be it. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know you're not alone.
