Lisa and Nancy, don't let it slide. There are stress management techniques to make the madness of day to day life less energy zapping Sexual fulfillment is a natural part of a woman's life and a beautiful aspect of a marriage. I used testosterone topically for a while and it helped and had no side offects like making me manly! Sexual dysfunction can be brought on by depression or medication but it can also be the result of hormonal imbalance, stress, who knows what else. Nobody has to live with it and there are therapies. I used the testosterone a few years back and got it fom my gyno and told her my husband was unhappy by my lack of desire. Yep, blamed it on his manly desires because it's so darn hard to talk about sex to our doctors but do it! You are too young, too vibrant to settle for less. I consider getting on top of my libido problems part of my wellness program.
And if you don't mind my being frank, there are scenarios you can act out to spice things up and jump start your libido. Pretend you picked each other up. Put a sexy scene from a movie or a novel in your head and act it out as far as you are comfortable. It's dorky, I know but it does work. When I call my husband, Rich, Roderick, he knows, well... My husband goes ga ga over fishnet stockings, garters and thongs. I consider them as instruments of torture but for our anniversary, he knew I was wearing them, and, well.....
Do a little research. I am giving myself ideas here. My husbands been patient and supportive because of my meds. I hope the new ones work for me. Diet, exercise, sex, relaxation time, all important aspects of our good health! Lot's of luck to you! Awareness if the first step. If you aren't satisfied, start searching for solutions. They are there!
