Decreased libido from pill?
| Tue, 02-20-2007 - 11:47am |
Over the past few months I've experienced a decreased sex drive. When i first started on yaz..it was high but has dropped to the point I do not want it at all. (been onthe pill 4 months now) Has anyone else experienced this? Are there other pills that should not affect sex drive as much? My bf is starting to get extremely frustrated and i am unsure why i am having decreased interest (my lack of an answer is not helping either) this is the only thing i can come up with.

Hi

Loss of libido is actually pretty common--other than irregular bleeding, I think it's our most common complaint about the pill.
A different pill, like the ones Jill listed, might help, or it might just be a consequence of being on the pill in general.
It used to be, several years ago, that women were having good luck with LoOvral, it might be worth a try, but it's very different from Yasmin.
Good luck! You're not alone in this--neither with the loss of libido nor the frustrated partner.;) It happens to the best of us!

Hi,
I've been on Yaz for over 2 months and I have to say that my sex drive has been increased if anything... I suffer from PMDD, so maybe that's the difference.
Hope everything works out...
