I also posted this on the November 2011 board.
I started weaning from the pump when DS was 9 months, only nursed in the morning and no pumping from 10-11 months, and have been completely done with both nursing and pumping now for the last 3 weeks. I STILL have zero sex drive. I'm starting to loose hope that it will return. Do I need to talk with a doctor? We are actually TTC right now and would just prefer not to see my doctor until I'm pregnant. I thought my libido was supposed to return after I was done breastfeeding. Anyone have a similar situation or words of advice?
Re: Still no libido
Try reading some erotica!
Has your cycle returned to normal? Are you super busy? I mean being a mom is hard work, it is draining and sometimes sex is like the last thing on my mind. Actually most of the time it's the last thing on my mind...
If you're worried, see your doctor. But I'd try some dirty books or movies first, it can help get you in the mood. And, like exercise, the more you do it, the more you want to do it.
Any erotica recommendations?
I found/find that since having DS 18 Months ago, my sex drive has not returned at all. Sex has always been a more mental thing for me, and I find that my mind is a lot more stressed and my body tensed to even think of enjoying sex or really wanting it.
Hubby and I have had this talk a few times, and we are both working on getting me to relax.
Just go on Amazon and search "erotica". I HATED the like 50 pages I read of Fifty Shades but a lot of people liked that.
my read shelf:
Everyone's reading FiFty Shades but the free samples I've read seem very teen and I laughed at it.
If you really need help to get you where you're going, google some porn but not the nasty stuff.
I'm in the same boat. It has to be so normal. It was not like this before having our son. He's almost 15 months.
It comes back........When we don't have to worry about their care 24/7. It think when they're five....Ha ha. HOPE NOT!!
