I was on the pill years ago for a period of two years or so while in a committed relationship. I noticed after a while that I had a decreased sex drive. I chalked it up to the fact that I was losing interest in the guy.
However, now I've been on it again for about two years while in another committed relationship. About a year ago, I noticed the decrease in sex drive again.
Has anyone else ever had this happen? Is this expected? What can I do to fix it? I've thought about changing pills... could that help?

It happens to some people being on the pill....its acutally noted as one of the side effects. Go talk to your doctor and you can try a different pill to see if it helps or you can try other forms of birth control...IUD...and etc.

1it could be the pill, but it also might not be. The honeymoon phase of a relationship wears off at ~18 months as is, so that might be what you're experiencing.
You could try an alternate form of birth control, but chances are most hormonal methods can fiddle with your libido.
2One of the most common complaints about the pill is that it kills the sex drive. Talk to your doctor about getting on a lower dose and that should help you get it back.
