Loss of libido from the pill

I wanted to create this thread (maybe it already exists?) because I'm seeing comments about this too often....

There seems to be a common experience amongst women for a (sometimes temporary) loss of libido when they get on the pill, and at the same time a belief from doctors that it doesn't happen Confused

It had happened to me when I first started on the pill back in my 20s and happened again after the last pregnancy. But the doctor completely dismissed it saying that loss of libido is normal/expected after giving birth. This is definitely not true for me (BlushGrin)! And after stopping the pill and getting the coil it magically came back!

I have read the same account from others here on MN. What is happening?! What can we do? Shall I send a message to the pill manufacturer saying I had this side effect?
