How to bring up sex drive

My sex drive has been a rollercoaster for months!!! I thought at first it was because of all the stress I had from medical school and the wedding planning. After inserting the nuva ring at first it increased but then, at around the time of the HM I had a pH imbalance and sex became really uncomfortable and painful. I took some probiotics my Gyn prescribed and the discomfort got better but my sex drive went down again. And I have desire just no actual sex drive. Any tips??

If you are taking oral birth control pills or anything that messes with your hormones, that could be a culprit.

Change over to something else less "invasive" or consider barrier methods: condom and sponge, condom and diaphragm.

Passion also waxes and wanes and if you've been together for a good stretch of time, even more so.  I think 2 or even 3 times a week would be fabulous for you both.:)

I went on the Nuva Ring in May and that actually increased my sex drive by a lot. Right now we are physically separated while I finish my summer research and he goes to work. I am hoping the distance will help us return to a normal sex schedule when I return home.
