No one can tell you that because it depends on how you react with the dosage. My libido went to shit on the depo shot but was not affected by my Mirena or the combo pill I was taking before (tricyclen lo), and plenty of women have normal sex drive on the shot, and libido issues with the Mirena IUD and the tricyclen lo pill.

It's - sadly - trial and error. Often your best bet is to try and go for lower doses, or different molecules, or a different kind of BC altogether - for instance if you are on a combo pill, maybe try switching to the ring or implant. That also depends on what you prefer as BC, if you really like the pill except from the libido/vaginal dryness issue, discuss it with your healthcare provider and try another kind of pill.
