Since I hit mid thirties I've been insatiably horny during ovulation, but not at all interested any other time of the month. With a DH who works away quite a lot, me working lots of nights and having too many children, this means our sex life is practically non existent. This doesn't bother me TOO much tbh. My DH has never had a particularly high sex drive which was frustrating years ago but I suppose suits me fine now. I did turn him down for sex for the first time ever recently, I felt repulsed at the idea, and this was the day before my period. I very much feel like I'm ruled by my hormones/cycle.
Another thing is my periods seem to be getting more painful, and I have experienced PMT for the first time in my life, a couple of months I have been unable to stop crying the day before my period. I did have things going on which would probably have upset me anyway, but I felt out of control. I am really not a crier usually. This doesn't happen every month, maybe every other month?
This is the first time of my life since age 16 that I haven't been on long term contraception that stops periods, or been pregnant or breastfeeding, and I swore I didn't want hormonal contraception again but maybe it is for the best? I am just really worried that if I only want sex during ovulation, taking it will kill my sex drive dead completely? Anyone have any experience of this?
It will be the implanon I get if I go for long term contraception.
