Zero labido due to menopause. This is it for me. Am I really that unusual?

I'm 52. 8 years postmenopausal. Been on HRT 8 years.
Various combinations.
Currently on Elleste Solo 2mg.
Utrogestan, Tostran, Estring and Ovestin.

Before menopause, I waa in a long term relationship (20yrs). We had sex most days. Very physical relationship which we both enjoyed.

Unfortunately the relationship broke down 6 years ago.
The menopause, severe mood swings and zero labido were definitely a factor.

Now I've gone years without sex or a relationship. I have absolutely zero desire. I've not met anyone im physically or emotionally attracted to.

I have friends my age, some married, some divorced and they all have healthy sex lives. I really can't be bothered. I do feel like the odd one out. My friends were so shocked when I talked about it recently.

I have no interest in fixing the issue. I've exhausted all the HRT regimes available.

I cant be the only one...
Anyone else relate?

I experienced the libido surge for about 3 years during early perimenopause, now I m in end stage perimenopause my libido has dropped significantly during the last 3 months. I m 46. I m single and totally fine with it. It's almost a relief, because I used to be quite flirty and enjoyed the interaction, but life is calmer and quieter without it.

It might come back, who knows, but currently I have no interest I pandering to anyone. Freedom 🙂
