Still not interested in sex....frustrating

Babybear70 · April 2013

I'm still not interested in sex, at all whatsoever. It is really frustrating because I love feeling connected to DH, but it seems like a bothersome annoyance rather than something I should be enjoying. Once we get into it I have a good time, but I can't get myself together to initiate anything, and when DH wants to half the time I'm already nearly asleep on the couch, or he has the day off the next day so he can sleep in but I still have to get up early. I'm thinking of talking to the doctor about it because I'm afraid my non-interest is going to somehow impact my marriage. Just sucks that I have no sex drive at all. Anyone else going through this? Any tips you can give me to kick it back in gear?

Thank you so much for posting this bc I feel exactly the same way! I'm also considering talking to a dr about it. This may be TMI, but sex still hurts my lady bits that got stretched a little too much when I gave birth. We're trying to s

Are you breastfeeding? Is your cycle back to normal yet?

I really wasn't intereseted at all and it was still painful (due to breastfeeding hormones) until after I got my period back, and DD started nursing less, and reliably sleeping

I am on the same boat, BFing and not sleeping are killing the mood for me.

Me too. Mostly it is because I am so tired. LO still gets up about twice a night to BF. So most nights I go to bed when he does. When I do have some down time, I just want to be by myself and do something for myself. I feel like someone is always on me

Yep, you are not alone. Nothing says sexy like no sleep, babies hanging all over you all day long, and Bfing. haha

I'm there with you, no sex drive at all.

Me too. It sucks.

I have Mirena too and 9 months pp and still no sex drive. The times my hubby and I try, he has problems so he hasn't initiated...because I've told him he will need to see a dr if he keeps having issues... Gah!!

Have a glass of wine, relax and get it on!

In all seriousness, wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor about this

I'm right there with you! No libido and sex still hurts most of the time. I'm still breastfeeding so I'm sure its related, but I got my first pp period at 9 months and finally feel like my sex hormones are getting on track. Dh has been super sweet a

A glass of wine does WONDERS for me - why not try it?

Also, I noticed a dramitic improvement in my sex drive after stopping BF at 7 month, then I got my first PP period at 8 months. I'm noticing that sex isn't painful like it was befor

Do you have Mirena or another hormone-based birth control? I had Mirenea for 2 years before getting pregnant and it totally deflated my sex drive. Now I have Paraguard and it has been a wonderful improvement! I'm still breastfeeding and had a 2nd degre

This was totally me BF or not. You wrote how I was word for word.

My solution? Please don't laugh....sexy romance novels. I don't know what it is, but it has done the trick!

I'm with you, BabyBear. I've actually gone to the doc for teeth-gritting painful sex and I simply have no des

I feel exactly the same way so I can't offer any advice. That being said I had a low sex drive to pre-pregnancy. My hubby does the same waiting until I'm half sleep or

zbeesma86 · April 2013

hahaha agreed.

At first I wasn't very into it- but after 6 months I had my mojo back.

katrod · April 2013

My daughter is 10 months old and I think hubby and I have had sex maybe 4 or 5 times, and not where I enjoyed it. I'm still bf'ing and got a mirena when baby was 7weeks old so before I had a period. My husband says he understands but I feel like such a cr
