My girlfriend of 2.5+ years seems to have the majority of these side effect symptoms. Zero sex drive, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, stomach pain, mood swings and a deterioration of love for her boyfriend, me.
She is the one who told me she loved me first and we recently completed a semi-long distance relationship while she was studying abroad in London. I am 30 year old male and she is 26. When she left abroad she also said she loved me and that everything would be fine with our relationship when she returned. I traveled to Europe 5 times to visit her.
Since her Minera IUD, everything seems to have changed in our relationship. She has no interest in me other than a platonic relationship. We always have fun together but I can tell the spark in her eyes that she once had is gone, or at least hidden under the surface. I am truly convinced it is the birth control but anytime I mention it she snaps and does not want to admit this might be the issue. I feel lost and so confused with the sudden deterioration of our relationship. I know in my heart it is the IUD. I have read countless hours on these message boards and try to discuss with her others that maybe in the same situation as us.
She has an appointment scheduled with an OBGYN next week. I have asked my girlfriend if I can write some questions to ask the OBGYN. Do you think it would be going to far to ask if I could accompany her to the appointment? How can I be supportive while still giving her space? I want this relationship to workout and get back to where it was. I have been a great/loving boyfriend to her but it seems in the last 6 months nothing I do is good enough and any little thing sets her off.
