Can't orgasm!

Always enjoyed a clitoral orgasm and never had any problems. However, 8 weeks postpartum and was feeling in the mood... but I can't orgasm! I get right to the edge but each time the sensation just disappears. It's so frustrating! No damage to clitoris during labour or anything. Does anyone have a clue what is happening?! Google isn't telling me anything.

I think, give it a week or so. Everything has changed down there plus you are busy caring for a new born.

I think it's the fact that at only 8 weeks pp your body is still in recovery mode. Try not to worry about it - it might take a few months for things to go back to normal.

Thanks for your replies, I feel calmer! I hope it's something that'll right itself. I'll give it a couple of months.

These things are temporary. I find that at certain times of the month I can't orgasm, or it's only a very short, not so intense one, depending where I am in my cycle. It may well be hormonal like that.
