Hello everyone
I have been BF for one year now, and still feed around 4 times a day. Me and DD still both very much enjoy BF and I really don't want to stop just yet.
However, I have not had a period since I got pregnant, and have a very low libido. I also suffer from vaginal dryness and pain, possibly (probably) as a result of low oestrogen because of BF.
Me and OH have not had intercourse since DD was born. We do other stuff, but obviously this is not brill for either of us. We do talk about it and he is obviously very understanding and supportive, but I can understand him getting a tad frustrated now!
I have been to consultant and got oestrogen cream, which helps with dryness, but not pain or getting periods back.
a few questions I would be very grateful if others who have been in a simiar situation could answer:
- Should I be concerned yet about lack of periods?
- How likely is it that I could get pregnant again (am 34 now and ideally would like to get pg by Nov/Dec time).
- Are dryness/pain/libido likely to still be affected by BF hormones, or are they possibly more psychological/caused by vaginismus?
Thank you all in advance!
