ANY BC pill works on producing higher oestrogen. This tricks our bodies into thinking it is pregnant.  The libido is diminished ( in real pregnancy the oestrogens continue getting higher and our bodies then actually become rather randy in many cases!)

So if you want protection, and no babies, but a sex life, then you are going to have to resort to a different method of contraception.

Hello,

I am taking Yasmin five years for treating endometriosis...
One of the side effects of this pill (like in most of the BCP) is decreased sex drive. So, that's normal consequence from taking the pill.
The sex is very important part of one relationship and you should work on it, to try to find some way, some other methods to increase your sex drive, not just to wait to get your period so you can feel better about having sex desire. So, try to relax and to enjoy and your partner must support you and he must understand your condition (I know it's not easy and simple being in that condition), so together you can find a way to improve your sex life and to enjoy and be passionate.
I am telling you this because I had the same problem and it was very, very unpleasent, but I tried to solve it so it can be better for me and my partner.

Hope you will find a way to feel more passionate. Just relax, that's the best start.

Have a nice day and take care!
