Default BCPs and sex drive

did BCPs decrease your sex drive? Mine is already damaged from the prozac and now I'm going to be taking BCPs on top of that. I like my sex drive and don't want to lose the small amount that's left

I was on yasmin last year and it totally destroyed my sex life, each month my sex drive decreased, sex was no longer fun or enjoyable, it became a chore. My sex drive returned to normal about a month after stopping yasmin.

Loss of libido is mentioned as a side effect of the BCP...pretty ironic considering its primary purpose!! But I have never had a problem in that department.

Hey girls,
Yeah I have no interest either whatsoever and sometimes I just do it just to get it out of the way.(I know TMI) Sorry. I just stopped taking Yasmin so we will see what happens.
