Yasmin Issues

Hi everyone,

I am new here, great to have a place like this where I can come for advice. I am male, 23, my girlfriend is 21. I'd like to start out by saying I love my girlfriend more than anything in the world and would do anything for her and plan on being with her forever (we've been together for over a year and a half now), she is my soulmate. Basically our situation is what I see a fair amount of females posting about. My girlfriend got pregnant last may, and unfortunately we decided to have an abortion. We both regret it, but unfortunately we cannot undo the past. :( to prevent her from having to go through this horrible experience again, we spoke to her doctor about yasmin. Now to begin with, my girlfriend has a family history of hormonal imbalance, so pills that adjust her hormones in any way have to be used with great caution and we have to pay attention and keep on the lookout for negative side-affects. Basically there have only been several that other females have mentioned..Fluxuation in weight (more gain than lose she says), kind of emotion-less as she puts it, acne (but only around a week before her period is about to start), her period being late often, and the issue that we're both concerned with and that brings me to this board, is her complete loss of sex drive. Also, whenever even herself touches around her lower region, it hurts. On the outside, and especially in as well, but even if the outside is touched she is in pain. First question would be, has anyone else experienced that? The total loss of sex drive, have their been any remedies for this aside from switching pills? I'll tell ya this much and we both agree, as far as birth control, it works perfectly as there's really no sex at all to conceive. As funny as that may sound, it's really sad and it's affecting us as going without sex for long long periods of time, or her not being able to achieve orgasm because it hurts too much, puts a nice strain on things. Basically i'm looking for any sort of advice someone can give. We've used lubricant, but that just eases the pain of penetration a little, and there's still no "desire" for sex in terms of her being able to "get into things". It' really rough if not impossible for her to get in any mood at all for anything sexual. If anyone has any advice, please don't hesitate to post or email me. Anyone going through this currently, please feel free as we'd be more than open to hear your stories as well. Thank you all very much, and take care.

Sincerely,

kayb
