Hormones are crazy, wacky things and they're not something we can "fix" on our own. If you're willing to stick it out with her, at least for the next 4 months and possibly even for the next year if you renew your lease, then she needs to seek help. Sexual therapists, gyno, etc... All kinds of doctors out there who would love to take a shot at what is wrong.

Maybe the birth control is seriously messing with her hormones. Maybe the original shot did something glandular to her that has her all out of balance and the new method isn't helping. Maybe it's something caused by her body evolving and maturing. The point I'm trying to reach here is, you won't know until you ask.

My advice is this... talk to her, no hourlong tear-fest, but just ask if she's willing to get checked out. It's time to take your Man-Pill and go to the gyno with her. Have an open, honest discussion about what is happening. If that avenue exhausts itself, ask for a referral to either a specialist or a sex therapist and go from there.

There are ways to seek help on this situation, but the question you need to ask yourself, and being 100% honest, is "is she worth it?"
This. Should you decide she is worth it, perhaps she should consider an IUD for b/c. It may be difficult to find a doctor who will insert one (I'm going to assume she is childless), but if the hormones are killing her sex drive, it might be an alternative. Good luck either way.
