BC pills killing my sex drive

[nunu06]

Ive been on birth control for a while, but at my last OBGYN appointment i think she changed my BC pills and lately my sex drive has been at 0, meaning i never want it, and when i do want it, my body doesnt catch up to my mind. I was wondering should i switch pills or try a different contraceptive because it is starting to affect my relationship. Any thoughts out there...?

I am on birth control and i dont seem to notice any lack in my sex drive. I think you should try a different kind.

I think they do affect your sex drive without a doubt. All people are different...so maybe some it does not affect, while others it does. I am one of those who it is also affecting.  I'm actually thinking of just going off it for awhile and see if I notice a difference. My OBGYN told me that if I thought that would help me, then to go off it for 3 months and pay attention to my body and see if I notice any changes.

I'm 26 and Ive been on BC for 8 years! So I'm kinda ready to go off it. Im just concerned or worried that I'll end up get preg if I stop. I am married and we really are not quite ready for a baby yet.

But if you think its the BC thats causing your low sex drive, then talk to your Dr and switch or stop taking them.

some pills have side effects like decreased sex drive,
its a side effect that you have

I have the same thing with Yaz. I have been on it for 1 yr and noticed a huge change in my drive. I want to get off it and switch to a different pill. I was on Ortho Tricyclen for years and never had a problem.
