If you’ve had any medication changes, especially related to birth control, you might experience a downshift in your sex drive. “Because there are hormones in the birth control pill, the reaction can vary from person to person, depending on your body chemistry and the type of hormone mixture in the pill,” says Dr. Jennifer Wider, MD, a women’s health expert, author, and radio host.

If your libido seems to go MIA right after you start a new hormonal birth control method, talk to your doctor. “There are tons of options to choose from and having your sex life impaired due to medication can be easily overcome for most people,” Dr. Wider says.

Additionally, you may experience a dip in your libido because you just got off birth control. “If someone experiences low sex drive after stopping birth control, it can be due to a temporary hormonal imbalance,” says Dr. Laura Purdy, MD, a board-certified family medicine physician. “It can take several months for the body to adjust to the absence of birth control hormones, and during this time, you may experience changes in your sex drive.”
