I found my libido!!!!!

[BerryMummypudding]

I've been off my pill for 6 months. Periods are regular and manageable and this last fortnight I've found my libido - BOOSH!!!

Husband is delighted and so am I.

Except I had to get the morning after pill on Monday and I was totally mortified.

I'm afraid if I go back on the pill I'm going to loose my libido again.

I'm looking for advice, what can I use that isn't the pill? I'm 50 and husband is 58. (Condoms don't really work for us)

Thanks.

This made me properly guffaw 😁

My friend's sister fell pregnant naturally with her one and only child and she was 50. Just saying...

Too soon to drop contraception, I think a vasectomy for your DH also not needed at this stage

I have a caya diaphragm (£40 from Amazon, much more comfortable than an NHS diaphragm) - I find this a very good method

Sorry to ask, but does it come with idiot proof instructions?

Get the copper coil. It's got no hormones in it.

Hate to break it to you but the sudden libido thing is often peri hormones going mad and not lasting long. Fun while it does! Testosterone can help later

Get hubby to have a vasectomy

No. Unless you're very comfortable with abortion.

And if you're anything like me, the (however minor) risk will see your libido vanish as quickly as it was found.

Vasectomy, condoms or coil.

That’s great news OP! Now, put it on a string through your coat sleeves so you don’t lose it again 😆

Yes, the caya diaphragm is idiot proof, easier than a tampon to put in. Comes with a leaflet which is v clear

it is shaped so there is a clear right way/wrong way (this is something I found tricky with the nhs ‘flying saucer’ type diaphragms), I found it easy from the first go

You have to leave it in for at least 6 hours after DTD, preferably a bit longer

You use them with a spermicide gel, I like their brand of green gel, which is also available on Amazon (£10) and lasts a couple of months if you are using it say a couple of times a week.

Literally get him to have a vasectomy? I’m so done with men wtf

At 50 I wouldn’t bother. It’s less than a 1% risk.

Mirena.
No periods.
Progesterone part incase you have hrt.
Never have to remember it.

My libido surge at 44 is 23 now 😁

Bit retro but I got on well with a diaphragm/ cap... Still available, to my friends disbelief. I couldn't cope with hormonal contraception at all.

Thrive25 thank you so much 🙏🏻😊

I got this with the menopause. Wonderful. Still going strong 5 years later I'm pleased to report 😀

Been risking it for 3 years. No babies yet. Seriously at your age I wouldn't be bothering. He certainly doesn't need a vasectomy.

If anyone knows this let me know currently lost mine somewhere (early peri menopause).

For those that are still struggling to find theirs and would like to, on this morning yesterday there were trying different supplements and gummies!

Not sure why my post was hidden, but check out this morning from yesterday where they tried different things with women to regain libido.

Thank you for info

Did any of them work?

My libido fell of a cliff after menopause, which was a bit of a shock!

I am 7 days post surgery and it was on in the background, I wasn't completely concentrating! I think the gummies were the most successful, the results were quite near the end of the show on 30th Jan.
Maybe I will rewatch it!!!

Interesting about those saying not to worry about pregnancy as my copper coil is 10 years old next year and I have been worrying what to do after, never thought I could just have it removed and carry on.
