Rough Night
This is more of a vent than anything. I have been battling hormonal adjustments for the past few weeks since coming off NuvaRing, and am slowly starting to get my libido back. Right now it seems that my libido likes to "kick in" at around 11:00pm on a Sunday night...Not good for a couple who has to be at work early the next morning. Normally my DH will get in the mood also, but last night he was already exhausted, and he always feels more exhausted the morning after sex. He pretty much hates his job right now and the last thing he needed was to be exhausted all day (he drives a truck around delivering material). So he expressed to me that if I really wanted to "get it on" he would let me and he would try to get in the mood, but honestly it's not that fun if he's not in the mood at the get go, so I just gave up and cuddled next to him. I was fine with it, because I love him so much and don't want him to have a bad day at work. Then next thing you know I am having a panic attack, crying my eyes out, hyperventilating, then switching to just being pissed off. So I stayed up until about 1:00am until I was finally able to calm down. DH was very understanding and supportive, and held me close the whole time, but I just feel so awful for keeping him up anyway, and not getting anything out of it (sexually).
Sorry for the vent, I just feel like I need some support and someone to tell me that it's going to be okay. I just feel like a crazy person.
Re: Rough Night
If you are having that big of a hormonal fluctuation from coming off birth control you may want to see your doctor. If nothing else to just hear it's normal and that you'll be your old self again.
I've come off birth control several times and never had as hard of a time.
Sorry you're dealing with this.
