Ok here is my story....my family has high BP everywhere i look, my mother her mother and father (my grandparents) and my father and his father and mother (my other grandparents) well last fri i went to the doc for a pap, while i was there they checked my BP and said it was really high (156/9

so she told me to go off of BC and to come back 4 days later to retake it, well i went back and they said it was fine making my doc think that the cause of my high BP was because of my BC.....so i went and made an app with my gyno to talk to her about an IUD...i go there 2day and on top of them telling me that i cant get an IUD (which is no biggie, i wasnt all about all that pain after reading what other women said) but my BP was back up to 148/92 so im like caca what do i do!?! now the way that my doc explained it to me is that the thing in BC that makes you BP go up is estrogen...so she wanted to put me on an all progesterone pill...the only problem with that is that i have a very big decreased sex drive like mad!! for the past like 3 yrs...isnt estrogen the thing that will not suppress my sex drive anymore meaning that progesterone will decrease it?? i am so confussed i dont even know if what i said was right, i just need help cuz my sex drive is nonexistent and i have high BP....ughhhh!!!! HELPPP!!!!!
