Do any of you experience decrease in sexual desire while on the pill?

Question

I've been on birth control for a few years now. I've been on different ones, before birth control me and my fiancé would have sex all the time. Our relationship is great, we don't have any issues. But ever since I've been on birth control my libido has decreased a whole lot! Idk what to do. I love my fiancé, and want to have sex with him. But I have a problem getting turned on. I need help! I've talked to my doctor. And he said I'm too young to have low testosterone. He suggested talking to my partner and saying maybe I need more dates, and flowers, girl dates, and little things to feel good. But I'm all good in that department. Any help ladies?

Answer

Lol your doctor is an idiot .. When your hormones are changed ( which they do when you are on birth control) it affects things like weight, mood, sexual desire ect.. Your doctor should have told you that when you went on that form of birth control.

I had the same thing when I had the implant.

My husband thought it was his fault and didn't understand the whole hormonal issue. I sat him down and explained it to him and he asked what he could do.

So I just had an honest conversation and told him all the things that really get me turned on and he was really good at paying loads of attention to foreplay and getting me turned on which helped me get in the mood more.

I also spoke to my doctor about it and she was great and said its normal and just give it a few months for it to level out and for my body to get used to the hormones .. And if I still feel this way then we can take out the implant and try another form !
