Is it normal to have a crazy increased sex drive after going off birth control?! This is just a question out of pure curiosity. I’m starting to think the real way birth control works is to make you never want sex! Lol. After giving birth to our child I went on it. Now we are ready to try for #2 so I’ve been off of it for ten days and hot damn, the drive is back with a vengeance! I forgot what it felt like to want it!
