Sex Drive Nosedive
My DH and I have been together for 6 years, married for two. Before I had DD almost 6 months ago, we had a pretty great sex life, but since having her, (and the last few months of pregnancy) my sex drive has been ZERO. We have literally had sex twice in the last eight months. I have had some bouts of post partum depression which make it tough. I feel unattractive and I just have no sex drive whatsoever. It's like I feel nothing when he starts stuff, and it's so frustrating because I love my husband and find him attractive... it's just like there's something missing. He's been really understanding about it but I'm scared he's going to give up on me. We have been trying to take turns surprising each other on date nights to get a little air of mystery back into things. It's a start I guess. I just don't know what's wrong with me.
Re: Sex Drive Nosedive
You and he need to talk about your sex life --- communication is key. And you know that this is an issue that you and he need to work on together.
See a doc for a full evaluation --- PPD is nothing to be ashamed of. If you don't like the diagnosis one doc gives you, see another. I think also consultation with an endocrinologist is a good idea --- in addition to PPD, you might have picked up a post partum/pregnancy case of some type of thyroid condition.
Again, fixable -- have your thyroid levels tested. A low thyroid/overactive thyroid can kill your libido. Good luck.
