I was on Sprintec for 3 or 4 years and vaginal dryness was never a problem for me until I decided to try out the NuvaRing because I couldn’t remember to take my pill everyday. After a couple of months of being on the ring I lost my sex drive and had little self lubrication during sex. I switched back to Sprintec thinking the problem would resolve and it didn’t. Should I try a progesterone only pill or just get off birth control all together?
Norethindrone - Does switching birth control help libido and vaginal dryness?

I had same issue with Depo Provera contraceptive injection. Switched to implant & that didn't help.
I was having very painful intercourse, too, due to Depo, low libido, plus other issues.
I had so many problems with different hormonal contraceptives, throughout my life, that I came off them all & learned how to chart my fertility as contraception, instead. Been doing this for years, & never looked back.
It seems a little complicated, at first, but after a month or two, it's easy.
There is actually only a small window in your cycle where pregnancy is a risk. Sperm can only survive in the right cervical mucus, for a few days. Worth researching. You can learn how online, or at classes.
