Perimenopause Help

Question by Lvmetndr: What other alternatives are there if I stop taking the pill because of a decrease in libido?
I’m 22 and healthy. I’ve been on ortho tricyclen-lo for about 3 years and my sex drive steadily decreased. If I decide to stop taking the pill because of my decreased libido, what other birth control method could I use? I’m sorry but abstinence is not one of them. I do enjoy intercourse just not anymore.

IUDs are a good option.

Question by jrshannie: Could my libido be low because always going to sleep and waking up late?
I have noticed over the past few months that my libido is almost completely gone, and im only 23!

My sleep pattern recently has been bad too. Could this be the reason?

I still get anywhere from 7-10 hours sleep, but I always go to bed at around 3am-5am and wake up at around 11am-2pm. I have been doing this for about 2 months now.

Could this be affecting testosterone production and so my libido is really low?

You didn’t indicate if anything in your life changed as you started to notice this. Did your activity level change? Did you lose a job? Think back.

Low libido and the sleeping pattern you describe are both signs of depression.

If you decide you need help for that, then go for it. But you should first try getting back onto a normal sleep schedule– go to bed earlier and wake up earlier. This could also improve your depression, if you have that.

If none of this works, move someplace where the women are better looking ^_^

Question by cute: What are the chances of getting cancer again after taking estrogen because of menopause?
Because if I do have cancer I don’t want to feel the symptoms of menopause. Will all doctors refuse to give you estrogen after having cancer?

Research over the last 5-10 years shows a direct correlation between Hormonal replacement therapy and cancer. For this reason, you need to have a very detailed discussion with your physician. Death by cancer is not a pleasant experience.
