Maybe TMI... Birth control, no sex drive?!

Normally I'd recommend switching but you're too close to your wedding. Different birth controls affect you differently so you could become a Bridezilla from the hormonal changes. Talk to your OBGYN and have them switch your prescription but hold off on filling it until after the wedding

@MrsVoegs - Definitely could be your pills. My pharmacy once subbed in a generic and it really, really messed with me. I can tell you I get Lutera, but I've honestly not paid attention to it any more than that. If I were you, I'd try to get in to see the dr. to see if there are other options. But again, if it were me I'd probably also try to stick it out until after the wedding. I would be worried about changing meds could make things worse. I wish there was more info out there on this. It's actually REALLY common once you start googling it! My dr. actually put an allergy warning on my records to the other BC because it caused me severe anxiety.

@Kaitlyn, we had talked about me going off the pill sometime early next year as well, as soon as we're okay if we were to get pregnant. @Christine, sounds just like me!

@Chip, I've got all three of those things going on.. so I bet that has a lot to do with it.

@Lana, I agree, that's why I am hesitant to switch/try something different at this point and think I should wait till after the wedding.

I personally will never take the pill and think it's bad for our bodies. We're gonna start out with condoms and see how that goes (waiting until marriage).

Between my birth control and anti anxiety meds, I completely understand. I'm going off the pill next month and I'm curious to see how I feel because I too have zero sex drive. FH is super patient with me, thank god!

As others have mentioned, what you are feeling is very common with more systemic forms of BC like the pill, patch, shot, etc. I'm sorry the Mirena gave you problems, because more local forms of BC have a less chance of causing side effects in relation to mood and drive. I would talk with your doctor asap to get a game plan going. It takes the body about 3 months to even out with a BC, so I wouldn't want you to get to the wedding with a new BC interfering.

I'm sorry this is happening though. Try to relax as much as possible. You have a lot on your plate, treat yourself if you can.

It can happen without BC being the culprit. Hormonal changes suck. I have notice that since I'm getting older that I am having more flucuations in my mood and sex drive. Something to discuss with your provider

@MrsVoegs YES! So me, too. I'm 29 -- I definitely think late 20s body changes are a big part of it. It's something not lots of women talk about or want to admit to each other so at least we know we're not the only ones!!

@MrsVoegs I had the copper IUD for 2 weeks before I had to have it removed. I was in constant, severe pain (I have a relatively high pain tolerance) and had some other unpleasant side effects. You're definitely not alone, and I'm glad you started this thread so that everyone could share and have an open discussion.

This started when I was 25 and I'm now 27. I suppose age could still be a culprit, but for me it started a few months after going on the pill. FH and I have had discussions about my BC and how I feel it has changed my sex drive, but I do think I probably need to put in more of an effort (I enjoy it once it's happening, just have a hard time "getting my head in the game"). I feel guilty because he is so considerate of how I’m feeling and never puts any pressure on me.

The first pill I tried demolished my sex drive and gave me a month long period! It was terrible. There is more than one pill! See if you can try the other one! Now my periods are regular and sex drive isnt an issue.
