Low libido due to birth control pills

My sex drive was extremely low while I was on birth control pills. I stopped taking them for other reasons a couple of months ago. I think it only took a couple of weeks or so for my sex drive to increase.

I never had this issue. Sorry this is happening to you.

I was on the pill, and though my sex drive didn't decrease, it numbed me. Took 2 weeks of "detox" for my clit to go back to normal, I was almost afraid it was permanent.

Ocella uses drospirenone, which has practically no testosterone activity. That could account for her lowered sex drive. Have her take a look at this website so she can choose another pill brand that uses a different chemical, if she hasn't discounted pill use all together.

I have definitely heard of this happening.

Thank you for all the responses. I believe she is going to go off the pill and she how it affects her.

I'm taking birth control pills, the mini pill called Micronor. I can definitely tell my sex drive is a lot lower but it's not entirely gone. Sometimes when we're making out and easing into having sex I just start laughing because it tickles or feels super annoying. LOL. It's strange. I don't know what to do about it because I have to take these pills because of my blood pressure. I can totally relate to how this feels though. Most of the time I feel like I don't want sex at all. The thing that helps me is taking the time to make myself up (makeup, clothes, hair, everything) because it boosts my confidence and makes me feel really sexy and it's easier for me to "let go" and just go with it.

Never had this particular side effect, however I did get a bunch of others from the pill. I switched to a Nuvaring which helped with those (my guess is it has something to do with the slower release of hormones but I'm not sure).
