Can going on the Pill decrease libido, and/or increase chances of infertility?

I was reading about what the Pill does, and it doesn't sound very good. So, I was just wondering whether anyone knows about this kind of thing.

I don't think it affects your fertility at all, as a soon as you come off you should be as fertile/infertile as you were before.

However it definately does decrease the libido. When I was on it my sex drive was fine for the first couple of years, but then slowly slowly started to decline. After 4 years I had absolutely no interest in sex, I only did it to keep my partner happy. I also felt kind of dulled down and too calm- not like myself. As soon as I came off the pill I suddenly had loads of sex drive and still have it a year later, and re-discovered laughter and smiling (and mood swings). I would never never never go on them again!

However I do think that the effects aren't too bad if you are only on them for a couple of years, but more than that I personally think they mess you up.

The pill does decrease sex drive in some women. The side effects vary from person to person.
