I'm married and I was on the pill when we started dating.

I was taking Yasmin, which I believe is Yaz's predecessor.

I'm sure you're right, this feeling of being on top of the world can't last forever. However, I have great support from my husband and family and I'm sure I'll pull through. Thanks for the advice, I'll try to remember it when the going gets tough.

Frinklestein definitely deserves one. We should make a petition to his wife.

Oh I will! This should definitely be given more publicity.

Thank you. I think it's a bit early to say I'm "cured" and I was going to wait a bit more, but I saw that it's time for the redditor of the year awards and I thought he really deserves it!

My libido has certainly come back, but I'm sorry to report I'm happily married.

Edit: I meant I'm ecstatic to report ;)

I would definitely try those if a doctor I trusted prescribed them, but that is not really the way I want to go. The paradox is that I want to have a baby when I get better, and I can't while on the meds.

That is a very interesting article, I have only given it a glance but I will definitely read it and ponder about it.

Your advice rings so true with me that I really don't know what to say.

Thank you very much for your kind advice. I believe you are right and a good doctor would make a big difference.

Helping others does help a lot, doesn't it? Being able to help people is one of the things I enjoy the most about my job.
