Did Depo make me lose my libido?

Guest · Guest

I was on the Depo for 5 years, than my husband and I decided to try for a baby. It took a full year to get pregnant. I loved the shot because I didn't have to worry about forgetting the pill or even having a cycle. I lost my cycle completely, which was heaven.

After I had my son, I went back on the shot and he will soon be 3 yrs old. I am nearing 30 yrs and I haven't had a sex drive. I could care less if I ever got it.

So my question is because I don't have a cycle, did I lose my libido? So if I go on a pill that makes me maintain a cycle, I will have my drive back, right?

Please help.

I'm in a similar situation. Being on synthetic birth control pills for a few years completely ruined my libido. I've been off of them for more than 10 years now, I still have a cycle, but no libido. Studies are now proving that birth control can permanently damage the hormonal functions that create the libido. It seems we have been screwed yet again by the medical world.

I'd love to hear if anyone has had any success with restoring libido!
