Mini-pill and loss of libido

Hi all,
I am on the mini-pill Noriday (same as Micronor). I have been on it for almost 5 years, but within the last year or so I have noticed my libido dropping, and for around 6 months now I have felt no desire for sex at all. I am even going off showing any affection altogether. My partner is lovely and never pressures me, but I realise this isn't good for a relationship and I notice we haven't been feeling as close. I love him so much and I want to make him happy and to show him how I feel but my libido is really at zero.
I also take Amitriptyline for IBS pain and Sertraline for anxiety/depression and I know that these medications can also adversely affect libido.
My question is, is it possible that my pill could be contributing to this, even though I did not experience this side effect for the first few years of being on it?
I would appreciate hearing of anybody else's experiences.

I've been taking Mircrogynon for a few years and I really think it has had an effect on my libido. Considering alternative contraception...
