Hi, all. Lately I've been experiencing mega-vaginal dryness, which has never been a problem for me in the past (quite the opposite, actually). I can be totally turned on, I feel physically aroused, but I'm totally dry. I haven't had any significant lifestyle changes recently, so I can't quite figure out why this would suddenly happen.
I was on the generic of Ortho Tri Cyclen (something Sprintec) for about a year, then discovered I could get the real stuff at Planned Parenthood for cheaper, so I've been taking that for the past three months. I haven't experienced any other side effects. Is it possible for HBC to cause side effects after a year+ of taking it? I took OTC several years ago, and never had this problem then. In fact, the main reason for getting back on OTC (vs. Seasonale) was because it was so blissfully side effect free.
Thoughts?
