I'll get back to you about this in about 2-3 weeks. I really think it
might be the bc tho, which one are you on? Do you notice a difference
from the beginning/end of the month? (ie after taking a break for a week
for my period, I think I usually find I'm a little less effected) It's
funny, they really don't mention sexual response in any of the info
about Tricyclen (the bc I'm on)
