My girl has been asking me to reach out to the forum for some advice on some symptoms she’s been having

for the last year she has more fatigue, stubborn weight loss, lowered sex drive and harder to climax during sex. She still get horny as hell but it’s way less frequent. She eats clean and works out, sleeps well and no drug or alcohol abuse. No AAS use. For the last two years she has been on and off her birth control I think that may be the culprit I recommended her go to the doctor and get some bloods done so she did al they did was check her thyroid and it came back fine.

I recommended to her the female blood panel and she is game our question is what hormones should we focus on for the Symptoms listed above.

Cycling birth control will cause instability in her hormones that can lead to all the above.

Beyond that, has she started taking any other medications around the same time that you started noticing the issues? Some anti-depressants can cause those symptoms as well.

Otherwise agree on the blood work.

My girl is similar (no drugs etc) and had similar symptoms once minus weight stuff. I'd boil it down to two things: It may very well be birth control, she got the IUD and the brand was Mirena. Totally ruined her sex drive. She got off that and it was the difference maker. "Everyone I know that took that had problems," she said.

The second thing, and this happened later, is anxiety. Might be worth asking her about that and, if she does indeed have anxiety, figuring out what works best. Sometimes it's as simple as taking walks outside. Meds might also do the trick. If she has a high stress job and functions at a very high level at this job, has asshole for a boss, anxiety might be it.

Hope that helps.

yea but all the ladies ive had going back til i was 16 were always on it, as long as they stayed on it they were all fine...?? If or when they stopped it, they were fine. Cycling or missing doses.....For sure will cause something, given the individual, it could be mild or wild. I remember a few where we didnt have enough for a vacation n things were messed up.

But the wife stopped BC about 18 months ago.....Things were fine, now 5 months post giving birth her thyroid is messed up. But shes losing hair, all sorts of post baby issues.

Post your bloods here, FD is right....None of us are DR's, but between the group we do have quite a bit of knowledge


GL brother

What thyroid tests were run?
Can you post results?

She will need to run these and post up
1. tsh
2. free t3
3. free t4
4. reverse t3
5. tpo antibodies
6. anti-thyroglobulin
7. iron serum
8. iron saturation
9. ferritin

insist on all of those. Doctors typically only run tsh and make a determination based on that which is complete bullsh1t and incompetence

Alright we’ll forgive me then
I don’t remember if I did but if two of y’all are saying it I guess so. I may have and then she didn’t want to follow through with finding out What’s wrong and I don’t force her she’s stubborn but I ain’t gonna control her I offer help and if she refuses I let it be lol.


edit: yes I did you and German were correct I posted something similar back In February of this year. My bad guys sorry to upset y’all

Look at switching to a birth control pill called Yasmin. That helped my Mrs with similar symptoms
