I’m 33 and have polycystic ovaries.
I’ve had these symptoms for a couple of years and its just occurred to me that I could either be in perimenopause or have something else going on.
so I never ever have ‘wetness’ or any kind of natural lubrication going on. It’s always dry and I’ve noticed that the skin down there damages easy now too. The skin can split. Sex is uncomfortable without a lot of lube. I also have 0 sex drive, it has disappeared.
the reason I noticed so much is that when I went through ivf I had to take estradiol tablets for part of the cycle. When I was on them I felt like I was on top of the world, my mood was good, I didn’t feel as tired and actually felt in the mood for sex. I remember saying I wish I could stay on them!
I have no cycle or periods due to pcos so I never get the natural surge in sex drive around ovulation.
does anyone know what this could be and/ or if you can take estrogen for mood and sex drive alone because the effects were better than any antidepressant I’ve taken.
