Hi all!
To keep it short and sweet. I’m a 32F with NO LIBIDO. And i mean NO. Zero. Zip.
Timeline:
December-january of 2023 i took two plan B’s. March of 2023 i had an abortion. I found out i was being cheated on that same month. I stayed with him. My libido tanked. I went from wanting sex constantly to never. And my sex drive used to be through the ROOF.
I started oral birth control (Yaz) in January of 2024 because i thought i didn’t want to have sex because i was scared of getting pregnant again. I stayed in the relationship miserable for 2 years.
My libido never returned and only got worse. I didn’t even want to masturbate. I left him in January of this year. I’ve been on birth control now for almost a year and a half but have finally made the decision to come off it and have been now for a week.
I don’t even remember what it’s like to want sex. I used to NEED it. Now i feel like i could go without it for the rest of my life. I miss feeling normal. I never think about my abortion – yes it was traumatic at the time but it doesn’t float around in my mind. I can’t figure out what’s wrong with me.

Hormones. Please talk to your Ob and tell them what’s going on. It takes a while for birth control hormones to fully exit your system so you might feel gradual improvement in the next few weeks/ months but you should definitely let your OB know how Yaz affected you. There are other formulations that may work better for you, or it may be that you are sensitive and can’t be on any hormones at all. But your Dr can help!
You’re possibly in the wrong kind of birth control. There are different kinds in terms ofhormones and being on the wrong one can seriously stuff you up. Please go back to your doctor and discuss it. This shouldn’t be normal!
