Hrt has stolen my orgasims

I started hrt at the end of Feb. Gel plus mirena. Didn't have sex for 2 months due to bleeding from the coil. That's getting better. Since getting back to shagging, Ive found my orgasims (which were amazing before hand) either aren't happening or are very weak. Im gutted. Cant find anything on google. Has anyone experienced this? Did it pass? Did anything help? I can't imagine this being it for me now. When everything else was falling apart, the one thing I still got to really enjoy was a decent shag. What can I do?

I'm not on HRT but I briefly had the mirena coil in for about 6 weeks 10 years ago before I demanded it was removed. I had a load of horrible symptoms from it but it also killed my libido dead. I felt like a different woman with it out and I've never touched hormonal stuff ever since!

It's bought mine back! I'm on patches and oral progesterone, after fainting when I had a coil put in then bleeding for 6 months I'm not a fan of mirena, not sure if the way it's delivered makes a difference.

Thanks. My quest for info continues, (and I'm updating my auto correct 🤭)

I’m not on HRT. I had a Mirena 2.5 years ago and mine has now gone, but I think it’s age not the coil. It’s only in the last 6 months it’s gone.
Have you looked into testosterone ?

My orgasms weakened when I went through menopause. I tried HRT but it didn't agree with me as it made me put on a lot of weight. Now I'm post menopause and only have weak orgasms. My libedo is low too. DH really has to get me in the mood. I think it's age and the cil is a red herring. I know many of my friends also from mid to late fifties and early sixties have also said their libedo is low and orgasms either weak or gone altogether.

Mirena didn’t agree with me either. No libido at all, put on weight, came out in spots and was in a constant foul mood. I’m amazed I’m still married! I put up with it for 6 months and then got it removed. Back to my usual self in no time.

Im not convinced its age as the change was so sudden, from being able to have 5 good ones in a row, to nowt. Im going to investigate testosterone though, thankyou!
