Hormonal contraceptives all contain a small amount of human-made estrogen and progestin hormones. These hormones tamper with your body's natural hormones to prevent pregnancy in a few ways by preventing ovulation and making the cervical mucus thick to prevent the sperms from penetrating through.
Low libido is also connected to emotional and physical attributes of hormonal contraception beside the hormonal levels of your body. Hormones control and coordinate activities in our body and once they are altered, other activities in the body change too. Sex drive is part of the activities at hand and the pills might either increase or decrease libido.
Some birth control methods lower testosterone hormone which is assumed to lower libido but the relationship between the hormone and libido is not well comprehended. Other pills reduce frequency of menstrual migraines and this might improve someone’s mood and sex drive at large. Yet there are other methods you could use except the pill. You could use the shot and the injection only contains progestin. You could also use the implant method which also contains just progestin and also hormonal and copper IUD could be an option.
Otherwise, choosing a birth control method is not a lifelong decision and therefore you can choose the ne that best fits your body to avoid unnecessary changes. Consider waiting a few months when you change methods to see how they affect you and whether your body can adjust to them or not.
