I just skimmed the article, but BCP = lowered sex drive? Duh! And it takes time to recover from them? Duh! I remember stopping the pill in an attempt to kick up my sex drive (a problem that was destroying my relationship at the time), and it didn't work. Relationship ended a few months later. About 2 months after that, I was at work one day, feeling kinda weird, and suddenly I realized, "Hey! My sex drive came back!". I hadn't seen it for the better part of 3 years.
