Loss of Libido

I'm in my late forties, started HRT about 6 months ago. I have in the last year or so gone off sex completely. I don't like my body, I don't like my DH's body. I feel icky about all sorts of bodily things that used to not bother me at all. Example: DH and I used to get ready for bed together, and would brush our teeth at the same time. Now, I find the thought of seeing him floss etc revolting and a I don't want him to see me going through my ablutions either.
Sex itself hasn't happened for almost a year now, as I just don't feel like it any more. I love him so much and he's never pressurised me. We cuddle a lot and spend time together. We recently started to DTD and I became tearful - I felt as though I was grieving a loss (of my former sex drive, youthful body etc). So we stopped. I feel so inadequate. I want to have a fun sex life again but I don't know how to get it back.
Can anyone relate to this, and advise please?

Doesn’t hurt to make sure you’re on top of all your vitamins.
This is quite a random suggestion but:
Gelatinised red maca and eat more eggs.

DTD?

You may need a higher dose of HRT.

Are you also taking Testosterone?
