It is possible that you may need to see someone about this, but I think one of the main things is that you JUST got off the pill. Your period takes a while to regulate itself, which also means that your ovulation will have to work out a few kinks. Since you state that this was when you were most sexual, then you may just need to wait it out. An IUD doesn't keep you from ovulating, as you should've been told. So therefore when you do start ovulating again, then you should see an increase in sex drive.
Also, since you explain you were a teenager when you had a higher sex drive, you also have to keep in mind that your hormones were raging at that point in your life. There is a chance that it will never be what it once was. You are older and your body has changed considerably. I have heard of an herb "Maca" that is supposed to help with sexual desires. There are other herbs at Vitamin Shoppe that may be of help to try before you take the next stop to the doctor. Most are fairly harmless, but I would do my research on them first. If you notice anything weird happening, then immediately stop using them and call a doctor.
I have irregular periods, so I have been researching herbs to help me regulate so that my husband and I will be able to pinpoint my ovulation better. This was one of the herbs I came across, but it seemed more for sexual desire than for regulation of periods.
