It will soon be time to visit my GP to get more birth control pills, I want to get off birth control pills and similar birth control methods for the sake of getting back my libido and because I don't particularly like the idea of putting things in my system that aren't naturally there. The thing is there aren't many other options, really my only other options are either a diaphragm or the method of tracking my fertility, perhaps also using herbal methods, these just don't suit me and are quite honestly too much effort, not to mention that I don't really trust them (or me).
Now that said I am sort of keen to try the Nuvaring, although different with everyone I get the impression that there could be a chance of getting back some of my libido with the ring - It is very de-sexing to have your sex drive missing. My major concern about the ring is that it is inserted into the vagina and I am not sure I like the idea of having too many extra things up there. I'm not 100% it is available in the UK.
Anyway, does anyone have any thoughts on birth control that might work better for me, something that can help me get my sex drive back?
Another question is regarding my ongoing troubles with vaginal infections, today I seem to have had particularly heavy discharge, this has resulted in a sore itching around my vagina and perineum area. My question is how wrong is it for me to be scratching it, sometimes you really can't help yourself, although obviously if my hands aren't clean there is a risk of further infection, can scratching with clean hands do any further damage?
