No sex drive!

Leanne • Wed, Oct 28 • I'm 22, in a long term relationship (4 years and counting), I love animals, reading and eating 😂

I'm on the pill and it's completely ruined my sex drive. It's nothing to do with not wanting to have sex with my fella, I still want to but I can't get properly aroused. It's like my body is numb. I haven't been able to orgasm since I went on it. Now, you may just think: why don't you just change contraception?- the answer: I've tried all the different types and none of them suited me.

Anyone have the same problem?

What did you do about it?

Thanks x

P.s I'm also on anti depressants and heavy pain killers so I guess it could be them. I have a mood disorder which is quite severe so my gp won't prescribe a contraception that has the possibility of increasing mood swings.
