I Have Lost It Since My 2 Yo Was Born!!

I love this place. I go to the nurse prac Linda. They take your blood twice on the 3rd day after your period and the 21st. They test your hormone levels...because thats whats making you feel this way. And figure out why your levels are off. PLease take the time to do this it really works much better than a DR trying to prescribe you antidepperesants on your verbal symptoms.

Girl, I'm the exact same way. I have a soon to be 3 yr old and a 14 mo old and it's almost a burden for me to have sex. It's totally hurting our marriage. I went to my OB/GYN for my yearly exam and told him how I was feeling. He took blood work and checked my hormones along with my thyroid and low and behold...my hormone levels were normal but my thyroid level was abnormal. I'm now on meds to help regulate my thyroid. Even though your thyroid helps regulate your metabolism, it totally effects so many other things when it's not working properly including fatigue, dry skin, anxiety, depression, brittle nails, low sex drive. So, it might be worth checking out. Believe me, I have tried the romantic dinners, candles, etc. It didn't work for me. My husband would say, "what happened, you used to be so sexual". That doesn't make a person feel real good. Anyway, I haven't been on the meds very long, but I do feel a difference. More energy and will to do things that I haven't felt doing before. Hopefully this helps and just know that you're not the only one out there that feels the exact same way.

Good Luck

I don't know if you are interested in something like this but my friend and I had one of the "toy" parties and it really helped in my relationship. I will tell you that once you are over the excitement of the first party you have to kinda get back into it for it to work for a while maybe you need to have a party with your husband or a group of really close girl friends they are alot of fun and I am sure there is a party host on this site that would be happy to help!!!!

This might sound like a weird suggestion, but if you're at all interested in natural methods, drinking red raspberry leaf tea helps balance hormones for women. It helps with fertility and our menstrual cycles, etc. When I drink it, I don't have to take any meds for my cramps! It seriously works. Anyway, if you're having hormone issues, it could very likely help balance all that out and your desire might come back more. Just a thought! :-)

M.,

I don't have any personal experiences to share, but my hubby is a nurse and says there are a million diff meds your doc can put you on, but you need to go and get tested for hormone levels, etc so they can figure out what would be best. Good Luck!

Lucky for you and your hubby--Valentine's Day is nearly here! Just plan a romantic evening for you two--it'll shock him and who knows--it may help you be the initiator in the future! Kids do this to us sometimes! --Pregnancy, then fatigue. It just keeps us from getting "in the mood" and when our heads hit the pillow--sex is the last thing we wanna do! You are not the only one! Good Luck!

I agree with the hormone responses. After I had my 3 year-old, I was the same way for about a year. Well, since I have severe cramping, my Dr. recommend going back on "the pill" to help with regulating my period. I noticed after about 2 months of taking "the pill", that my hormones were, as I say, working again (besides helping the cramping). There are certain days of my cycle that my hormones make it very easy for me to "express myself". Don't know if you're on "the pill" - but personally, it worked for me.

Since I am a very emotional person anyway, he prescribed a pill with very low dosages of hormones (but still very effect in preventin pregnancy) to help prevent drastic mood swings with the ebb & flow of hormones.

Good luck.
