No libido with evorel patch

[parrotonmyshoulder]

Is this normal? Utterly no sexual feeling at all! Had been fine up to starting the patches. Is this the pay off ? Either I have no sleep (amazingly improved) or no sex…?

How long have you been on the patches for, do you mind me asking? Are they Conti / Sequi?

Evorel. I have mirena coil anyway and added in the patches about 2 months ago.

That doesn't sound right - I just can't see why there would be a causal connection between adding in oestrogen patches and loss of libido.

There's a Kate Muir AMA thread from Thursday that might be helpful or at least of some interest, as she talks about libido and HRT (including testosterone) a fair bit. (She's written a book, makes TV etc.) I dont know if you saw it?

This one here:

Thanks. I’ll have a look at the thread. Glad I asked - I think I would just have accepted it as a typical side effect and the lesser of two evils.
