sex drive

has gone out the window since dd3 was born. Thing is, she is now 22 months and it still hasn't come back. DH is trying to be understanding but it is affecting our relationship. What should I do about it? If I go to the doc what will she do?

get your hormone levels checked...you can do it by blood tests or saliva tests.

Are you breastfeeding and have you had a period yet??

I completely lost my sex drive with my hubby after baby number 3 was born. As soon as I stopped breastfeeding and started ovulating again, bam she's back in business smile

I would make an appoinment with your gp and take things from there.

Good luck!!

Thanks, I think I'll go make an appointment. I haven't breastfeed for months and yes I have had a period. I kinda just expected it to come back by now but it hasn't. Maybe it is hormones, would that also make me tired/get tired easily?

Nutrition? Maybe check out your diet, I believe that a lot of problems people have can be linked back to diet. Also, a lot of screen time has been theorised to mess with your body in ways such as loss of sex drive.

ha I have been like this since preggo with ds.....I know wat u mean it does affect things!
sorry no pearls of wisdom here tho.

I have also read the more you do it the more you want it, the less you do it the less you want it, dunno if thats true though.

I did read that too but for me it's not true! I'm also wondering if it's related to the fact that I have no close friends am quite shy and have low self esteem. Writing that makes me seem like a basket case! lol but I'll start by going to the doc!

Yes true for me!!

Agree with this! I watched a segment on TV about a couple who rarely had sex and they decided that for 1 whole year they would have sex EVERY day - no excuses. They said at first it was tiresome at times and they got bored but then because they had committed to this they started become more creative and by the end they said they both looked forward to it everyday and their relationship was stronger.

Not suggesting you do this btw, just agreeing with PP. I imagine with 3 kids you are tired, feel all touched and loved out... it's hard to get your mojo when all day you have been changing nappies, chasing kids and cleaning up after everybody! Perhaps you simply need some time out or some pampering from DH to get you in the mood?

I hit a dry spell with my husband but we found a great way to solve it, I blogged about it here
