PSA about the Depo Shot and low sex drives!!!!
So. I was on Depo for about 7 years. My last shot was September, shoulda went back in December 2015 to get my next shot. My boyfriend and I decided that it would be a good idea to give my body a rest because I'd been on it for so long AND my sex drive was NON-EXISTANT! I did NOT want to have sex. Zero fucking desire. I went to the doctor to figure it out wtf was going on. My OB informed me that long term relationships (at this time we'd been together for about 2 years) the sex slows down just because you've been together for a while. But I was informing her that the desire just did not exist. I told her I was going to come off of my depo for a while just to see if that helps.
This shitty ass libido situation SUCKED. My boyfriend got really nervous. He thought I was getting it from some where else and I just wanted turned on by him. Which was totally not the case at all.
Well I've now had two normal periods since my last shot which was ALMOST a year ago. And my libido is coming back with a fucking vengeance!!!!!
SOOOOO the point of this is, if you've been on a depo for a while and the fire is slowly dying out with you and your partner. GIVE YOUR BODY A BREAK!!!! Get back to normal. Let your estrogen levels finally come back. Condoms suck YEAH. But so does having a baby when you know you're not ready!
Testosterone is what fuels a women's sex drive and being on the depo shot, it supresses those testosterone levels KILLING your sex life.
22 years old. Normal sex drive my entire life with about 6 1/2 years on Depo.
