A member asked:
When birth control pills increase libido, does that effect last for the duration of pill use, or does it subside after the first few months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably subside: If the increase is due to the hormonal effects, it will probably decrease after 2-3 months. If the increase is from not having to worry about getting pregnant, it could last longer. Enjoy.
