My implant has stolen my libido!

I had an implant put in mid-Janury and since then, my libido has not just gone down a bit, but dropped so far that even the idea of sex now repulses me. WTF?! Will it come back?? I want to want sex but just I can't Sad it's really frustrating me let alone DH, we haven't had sex since New Year and that is HIGHLY unusual for us. DH has made noises about getting a vasectomy but he's only 29 so I don't think they would do it. Plus I need some form of long term contraception because I regularly have sex with other men (yes my husband knows, that's our lifestyle) so I need a back up in case of condom failure.

Other forms of contraception I've tried over the years

  • Combined Pill - Didn't realise how depressed it made me feel until I came off it.
  • Mini Pill - Made me bleed constantly.
  • Mirena Coil - Made me bleed constantly and DH prodded it during sex which he said hurt.
  • Depo Injection - Made me bleed constantly.

My body just doesn't seem to agree with hormonal contraceptives Sad my periods are heavy already so I don't want a copper coil as I know they make it heavier. What the hell can I do?! I want my sex life back Sad

I had my implant removed as it turned me into a shedevil!!! No exaggeration. It's a wonder no-one got the full wrath of me 😂 I'm the exact same with hormones. Think must of been overloaded with then at birth 😂😂 condoms? I know they're not to everyone's tastes but they do work and it takes a minute. If that! Also what about the ring? Although I'm not sure if that's hormonal too Confused been there OP! We use condoms even though we argued about them at the start but it's either that or years of misery, anger, random bleeds and low libido! Have you been to a gp to see a cause for heavy periods or even to discuss contraception at sexual health clinic. Think sexual health clinic are far better terms of contraception speak.
