My experience with low libido and BC

Hi everyone, I (30 F) have endometriosis (right now is two 2.5 cm ovarian cysts) and my doctor put me on the mini pill for the past 3 years

I kind of loved not having to deal with periods for a while and I had no symptoms whatsoever.

However, I started noticing that my libido was dropping month by month and I started to feel uncomfortable, since I’m single and for the first time in my life I wasn’t interested in dating because I had no sex drive.

I brought up the subject with the ob-gyn, asking if maybe there were other things factoring in (my mom died a year ago so maybe I was just grieving), but he told me that my testosterone levels had likely dropped so he decided to change BC (currently taking Miranova).

It doesn’t happen overnight, but I slowly started feeling like I was literally defrosting. It’a definitely getting better, and now I’m wondering why I didn’t address the issue earlier.

I’m just leaving this experience here just in case someone is going through the same thing.
