I read in a magazine over the weekend that there are
two types of birth control pills--mono-phasic and
tri-phasic. One gives continuous estrogen and the
other gives estrogen sporadically. One, I can't
remember which, was found in studies to increase
sexual desire and enhanced pleasure. I was interested
in this as an antidote to the negative sexual side
effects that the SSRI's can cause. Has anyone else
heard of this, or better yet, have experience with
birth control pills enhancing sexual experience? I
have only had the experience that birth control pills
NEGATIVELY effect my experience, but perhaps I wasn't
taking the right type of pill. I alway took the very
low dose ones b/c I didn't want to gain weight or break
out. Feedback?
