TTC and going off the pill

I stopped the pill (Ortho-tri) appx a month ago. This past weekend, I had this insane sex drive increase and I've been feeling fantastic - is all this from going off the pill? Has anyone else expeirenced this? It's frightening to think the pill could have been semi-numbing me these past years!

    Not sure if it's related, but I experienced the same thing back in March when I went of the pill (Levora). DH wants to know why my sex drive has increased so much. I, personally, don't mind the increased sex drive.

    Me: 25
    Dx PCOS (June 2006, re-confirmed March 2012), Anemia (May 2010-Still fighting to correct it), Fibromyalgia (May 2011)
    Initial b/w - normal
    HSG (March 2012) revealed right tube open and looking great. Left tube deformed with hydrosalpinx.
    Lap (April 2012) Removal of left fallopian tube. Right tube open and viable, but "rather enlarged." NO evidence of endometriosis...Uterus looks beautiful and "very capable" of carrying a pregnancy!
    October 2012 - Clomid 50mg + trigger + IUI = BFN
    With all factors taken into account, RE is recommending IVF. Planning on moving forward with treatment as a single woman using DS by Summer 2013.

    I went off the pill in July. And I also had an increased sex drive. It's crazy.

    I went off the pill after 12 years and had the same experience. It's been wonderful because after that long messing with my hormones, my gyne said it's common to have a low(er) sex drive. DH & I have been enjoying every moment of it!

    Same here. I had been on the pill for 14 years and I just went off at the end of August. We have been TTC and I have also had a higher sex drive.

    Yes, this happened to me. Pills jack with your hormones. I could tell when I was on the 'bye' week on mine, even, because of my libido. If this concerns you for after pg -- I suggest a non hormonal IUD. Never had to mess with it and it didn't mess with hormones, although, really, a baby is enough of a libido killer. Lol. No sleep, etc!

    The pill makes your body think that it's pregnant, and it's essentially hormones that you're taking...so when you go off of it, things change!

    I just went off of the pill and I was reading some things online and when I got to this I thought yes! Because every website I went to had a bunch of negative things to say.
