To have zero interest in sex

Dp and I found out I was pregnant last July, we had an early abortion which was very complicated and pretty traumatic. Since then I've had absolutely no interest in sex, I'm never in the mood and advances just make me uncomfortable. I've seen it through a few times but I'm just doing it for him and wait for it to be over, I feel like I'm lying to him. Prior to this I had a happy healthy sex life, we were always at it and I always wanted it but its like a switch has been flipped and I feel so awful for dp.

I don't know where to start with fixing this, has anyone been in a similar situation? What can I do to work on it? I'd love to go back to my old self

It could be psychological or physical, or a mixture of both.

Physically you could have hormone imbalances, or be short of vitamins and minerals. During a planned pregnancy, you take supplements before, during and after. Physically you've been through the same thing, without them and a natural hormone return.

Emotionally you've been through a lot and by definition, having sex has been the cause. Has your Partner been kind and supportive towards you?

Thankyou for your response. I thought my hormones could be out of whack, I didn't start the pill again to give my body a break. They send me up the wall for a few months but that's another issue I need to decide on.

Yes dp's been nothing but supportive and kind. I almost with he'd be mad at me at least then I could feel anger back not just like I'm rejecting him. He just says he understands and not to worry we'll get back on track when it just happens but I can see the hurt on his face when he tries.
