I was hoping for some advice or I suppose to know I’m not going crazy.
I am F and mid 30’s, had always had a very, very high sex drive and then 6 years ago had to come off the pill and not long after was diagnosed with Endometriosis. From coming off the pill, I noticed my sex drive start to wane, I stopped being interested and that was really unlike me, from having a really high one to practically non existent was a little concerning. Then getting diagnosed with Endometriosis didn’t help. The fatigue that comes with that affects me quite a lot. I have zero energy and as soon as we get in bed I’m asleep.
I’ve been with my other half for over a decade, he’s been privy to both the high drive and now the low drive and as supportive as he has been, I’ve found it really difficult to explain that I still love him and find him extremely attractive, and desire him that way, he is literally perfect but just have no drive to initiate it. I enjoy it when we do it but also, can just go without now because there’s no drive there for it but yet I miss it? I can see him becoming affected by this and it’s affecting me too.
I went to the Dr’s to try and explain and they did blood tests which then came back ‘normal’ but at the same time, I was referred back to my Gynaecologist to do further tests and potentially put me on Testosterone.
Had anyone else ever had similar?
