Switching pills for low libido

I appreciate any help I can get on this. I am about ready to switch BCP's again. I have been on the pill for 10 years. I started out on Ortho Novum 1/35 and all was fine for awhile with my libido (I was also 18 at the time). After several years I became frustrated because of libido problems and my doctor had me try Nuvaring. That did not work for me. I could feel it and it was very uncomfortable. I took it out after just 3 days. I then went on Ortho Tricyclen Lo. I have been on this for a couple of years and it has not helped with my libido. I am now about to switch to Loestrin 1.5/30 next month. My doctor said that this may or may not help. What can I expect when switching? Are there other side effect with loestrin that I should be concerned about?
