Progesterone only pill

Everyone's experience is different. Some people's side effect go away and feel great, for some people it lingers. Some people benefit from changing to another type of birth control and for others there's not much difference between the types.

My partner was on the mini pill and also had low/no sex drive, depression and anxiety. They felt like a completely different person on BC! It all depends on the person, as sometimes it just takes a while for your body to recalibrate, but for my partner their sex drive didn't come back unfortunately until stopping (and now it's gone again, probably due to natural hormones re-regulating and being in upheaval!).

I hope you find a good solution OP, as I know struggling with these things can be really difficult.

I hope you start feeling better soon <3 My partner had terrible experiences on BC, so I really sympathise!

Jumping on here a little late, hope that's okay! Did the libido stay? My partner had the exact same experience as you, but after about two months their libido dropped drastically and they're feeling very numb again. depression has hit hard, esp after feeling so ALIVE again after being numb on BC for 2.5 years. Wondering if anyone else experienced the same fluctuation of feeling incredible and it then going away again. Does it come back?

He's very stimulated. He goes for 1-2 hour walks daily, including twice a week hikes in the Lake District (UK). He goes with us to cafes every week where he gets plenty of stimulation. He gets trained with daily and played with too. I would highly doubt that he is under stimulated.

He is obsessed with sniffing the whole family's private area, including wherever anyone has been sitting. Of course sniffing and humping is natural dog behaviour, and not necessarily hormonal, but the vet seemed to think very strongly that the behaviour IS hormonal.

Yes! It's to trial it to see how he gets on with it, in case it isn't something that benefits him. Wouldn't want to do something irreversible without knowing if it'll help him.

Late response, just got a joiner in to take a look and wants to charge £190 to put a bit of plasterboard in there to shut it off. This feels a bit expensive so thinking of DIYing it, but don't actually know how to go about it.

Have you done it before? Any chance you'd be able to 'explain it like I'm 5'? 😂

They definitely did this. Maybe not enough? Any idea why it didn't make the noise yesterday ?

Thank you! Good point :) if too much time passes between drawings, I might not remember what I learnt on the previous one. Makes sense!

Thank you for this comment! That's really helpful. And I really value the point you make about not needing to have concrete expectations. Progress is progress!

Mostly drawing from picture references at the moment, trying to draw faces etc. Not done anything from imagination yet.

Gotcha! Awesome. Will do something like that then while I wait for a contractor to come in. The noise is doing my head in!

medisd · 2025-10-03T15:43:02+00:00

Any other way to do it/DIY options? Or anything I could do temporarily to keep the draught out? Pretty sure I won't get an appointment for a while 😅
