The OCP has always completely and utterly zapped my already fairly low libido into complete and utter non-existence. Every single time I take it. The longer I'm on it, the worse it seems to get.
But, I have finally found one that doesn't. Yaz. Pretty damned expensive ($70 for 3 months!), but in my mind it's worth it for the difference it makes to my mood. The OCP also tends to cause my depression to get worse. Yaz doesn't. I'm a different woman on it.
Levlen was one of the ones we tried while going through IVF to see if we could actually find one that didn't cause me to bleed constantly on active tablets (13 years of no issues at all, and then a year off and that - every time - ugh!) and I do recall that it had the most negative effect on my libido of all the ones I'd tried. It would certainly be worth talking to your doctor and perhaps switching to a different one.
