Could the Mirena coil be making me feel ridiculously randy?!

I've got two DSs (3yrs and 11mths) and had noticed that since having DS2 my sex drive has gone, well, into overdrive. I've always had quite a high sex drive but not like this - I would happily have sex at least twice a day every day if I could. DH is pretty game most of the time but not really anywhere near this. (Quite understandably.) Today I was thinking about my randiness and realised that it might have coincided with me having a mirena coil put in (about 10 weeks after DS2 born) and so I wondered if there might be something in the hormones released by the mirena. Or maybe not?

Anyone else experienced this? Or just me?!

I have the Mirena coil. Not sure I could say it's affected my sex life though...

You are lucky!The Mirena got rid of any sex drive I had

Hmmmm. So you think it does affect sex drive?

I know pretty much zilch about progesterone and whether if it could suppress lust it could also increase it. Anyone know?

Or am I just going through a weird patch?

I had this for a few months after I had the Mirena fitted, poor DH was worn out!

I also had it fitted when my DS was 10 weeks old (ish)

It did tail off eventually, but definitely didn't lessen my libido any, it just evened out and was normal for us.

Enjoy it whilst it lasts
