The first time I had sex with my BF I got my period -it wasn't due for a few days but it came on DTD. It was quite heavy but we laughed it off and he clearly wasn't totally grossed out by it - I'm not either to be honest but it annoyed me at the time. Since then for some reason my periods have got heavier and heavier and have been a little scary at times I have been caught out at other times. I'm having investigations over it but they are taking bloody ages and I don't know what's causing it. I now find myself constantly tense and worried about sudden bleeding and pain (not just during sex, all the time) but it's having an effect. He's so lovely and understanding and he is not the issue in any way.
I have found my sex drive has suddenly vanished even when I am not on my period, at ovulation times I would usually feel very sexual, even when I was single or we aren't together it's like I can't summon up the feelings I had only a few months ago! Usually I can summon up a few fantasy scenarios for myself but that's not doing it either!
We are having sex even though I am not feeling wildly passionate and once we start I am totally fine and get into it. I just don't know where my usually fairly robust sex drive has gone. Hormone levels all normal apparently! I avoided PIV sex this weekend as I had started my period (usually this wouldn't matter to either of us) but I just couldn't face it - when we go out he's noticed I'm constantly going to the toilet to check and I seem to feel uncomfortable in my own body. I'm really down about it. How can I get this back?
