POI, post meno, getting libido back

[JosiePosey]

What worked for you?

I'm post-meno and just never feel horny. We are still young and I just have no interest. My husband obviously does, and I want to, but just don't.

How can I get it back? I spoke to the GP and asked for testosterone, she tested mine and said it was fine. I've brought this up with her a couple of times but we haven't got anywhere.

I'm struggling with this too (testosterone is fine). My oestrogen was a bit low though, so have changed from gel to patches to see if I absorb better. I have to say it's improved slightly since then.... (going to ask for a higher patch dose at the next appointment to see if it improves more). So could it be your oestrogen level?

I don't know, I've leveled up on the dose once, but that was because the other type was making me bleed continuously, and what I'm on now doesn't.

I suppose I will have to go back to the GP for a blood test again to see, but there were all just done in November.

I'm tempted to just buy some vulval oestrogen cream/gel and some testosterone sachets and just seeing what happens.
