Lucette pill side effects?

I haven't been able to find anyone IRL who is on the Lucette contraceptive pill. For years I've tried various pills and antibiotics etc for hormonal acne, and nothing has worked long term. My gp recommended Lucette and I've been taking it since around September last year. The acne has completely gone and I don't seem to have any negative side effects- except one thing! My sex drive has completely disappeared, and I mean completely!! My DH and I have always enjoyed a healthy sex life with similar drives (around 3/4 times a week even with 2 young children), however now, the thought of sex never crosses my mind! I still do it, but not particularly enjoying it. I reckon I could quite happily never have sex again with the way I'm feeling. Has anyone had a similar experience on Lucette? I can't see how it can be anything else!

Hey, I'm on Lucette and have been for a year for my endometriosis.

I can't think of any notable side effects my sex drive has been pretty low since I had kids and long before I was put on Lucette so that's not much help to you!

What I would say is speak to the GP and see if you can switch pills, I've been on a few different ones before settling on Lucette. I definitely mention it though.
