Birth Control Question

[fumblerette1.livejournal.com]

I'm having an issue and I'm hoping someone can clear it up. I've been on birth control (first OTC, then the patch) for over 4 years- before I was ever even sexually active. I think I have a somewhat lower sex drive, but I'm not really sure if it's my BC or if a lower sex drive is just normal for me. Other than this I've been really happy with the patch, and I'm not too keen on switching to something else. Is there any way, other than going off birth control altogether, to figure out if I could have a higher sex drive or if this is normal for me? It's been causing some stress in my relationship lately, which means it's time to see what can be done. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
