A member asked:
Can you tell me what to do about birth control absolutely killing my libido?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go see your doctor: Tell him/her your concerns as stated above. Sometimes changing the amount of hormones in your birth control pill will allow for return of your sex drive. However, you may also need to consider other contraceptive options such as condoms, diaphragm, cervical cap or IUD (intra-uterine device). If absolutely sure you don't want any more children, consider tubal ligation or vasectomy (less risky).
