I have been a birth control for several months, but lately I have been forgetting to take it. I've been experiencing lack of sensitivity and can't feel it very much when my boyfriend fingers me. I've been secreting much more lubricant as well. Should I be worried? And how can I fix it?

Birth Control Answer A20230
Hi,
If you have not been regular with taking your birth control then your symptoms of loss of sexual pleasure and increase in vaginal discharge (without associated symptoms of bad smell, itching, burning rashes etc) could be due to pregnancy. Visit your gynecologist for a thorough evaluation to confirm/rule out pregnancy. If pregnancy is ruled out with a blood HCG test, then discuss about getting started on alternate birth control suited to your needs.
Take care.
