Low sex drive

4 replies

kbaby · 24/06/2012 21:34

Since having dc I have zero sex drive. They aren't toddlers anymore and I'm not too tired or anything so can see no cause for it. If I went to the gps are there any tests that they could do to see if there is a reason?

I don't want to go and explain all to a gp for him to say it's just life.

Btw im not taking any medication which would cause it.

Thanks

See your gp. Low iron can be a factor but so many things can...do you ever think about sex or feel aroused? How was it before kids?

Do you have any other physical symptoms? GP cpuld run standard tests. Mine perked up once thyroid was treated - but I had other symptoms as well - tired, cold, no hair growth etc

No symptoms that I could pin point, I'm always cold but then always been a cold person.

I never think about sex, I feel arroused occasionally if I see something but it's quickly forgotten and sex just feels like a chore. Between sex or the dishes I'd rather the dishes:)

Before we lived together it was most nights, then when we moved in prior to kids it was prob about once a week. Now it's over every six months!

At least if here's tests they can do I can get that checked and rule it out and then look at other reasons.
