Sex drive postpartum

I’m nearly 5 months postpartum and while I was healing up after getting an episiotomy for the first two months after giving birth I was so excited and looking forward to getting back to having sex again. I went back on the pill at 8 weeks postpartum and I feel since then I’ve had such a low sex drive to the point where I really don’t want to do anything with him at all. I’ve found this to be similar in the past when I had an iud/ implant and other pills too. I feel like my only option is to go natural but then the risk of getting pregnant of course is higher. Context I got pregnant at 21 while on birth control so feel super confused on what to do :/ any advice/opinions would be so appreciated :)

I’m in the same boat. Gave birth to my 2nd child 8 weeks ago. I fell pregnant whilst trying to track my ovulation so that hasnt worked for me unfortunately. I seriously don’t want to go on any hormonal contraception because I know it’ll affect my mood and my sex drive. Following this post to see if anyone else has any recommendations x

Following this post as well in hopes of recommendation! I had the implant for 3 years and it didn't agree with me at all, my moods were low, I had migrains, I piled the weight on even though my diet and excersise hadn't changed. I felt like shit and my sex drive was none existent. I'm 4 weeks pp and want to protect myself against getting pregnant again but really don't want hormonal birth control x

i’ve been doing natural birth control (pull out always, tracking ovulation) for 2 years since my daughters birth and it has been successful! ofc it’s not guaranteed to work but neither is regular BC so 🤷🏽‍♀️ i told myself i’d never do hormonal BC again, i had nexplanon years ago but i just hate the toll that BC takes on your body and hormones. plus after pregnancy your hormones are usually so unbalanced i don’t want to do anything else to throw it off
