Good morning Beverly....as a the husband of someone who is peri menopausal I am at once utterly sympathetic to what you're going through and in admiration of your seeking treatment and counsel from your doctor and your commitment to keeping a date night with your husband. In my humble opinion this is hugely important. Suffering in silence which is what's happening for my wife can lead to detachment in the marriage and nothing good happens in that situation. So my only advice is keep the lines of communication open with your husband. You're in that brand new married couple phase which should make it easier to do. It gets tougher as you go. But the habit you develop today can sustain you in the long run. I'm sending thoughts of postlivity to you both and hope things get better. Hang in there.

I lost my libido when peri and that went on for 6 yrs. lucky I wasn't in a relationship. The thought of sex made me nauseated. Went on HRT was like a cat in heat.
There are things you can do.
Date nights are lovely but no libido nothing will make u horny.

Hi, Beverly,
I would suggest that you go to a gynecologst. They have the expertise to help you with these issues and to assist you with hormone replacement, if appropriate.
Don't give up on yourself!
Let us know how you do! xx

Hi, Beverly,
You've got a lot going on, no wonder you're upset! What you are going through physically is very, very stressful! Some women in stressful situations lose their sex drive. Once the stressful situation is resolved, it can return.
The results of your tests indicate that you have more going on than the lack of a sex drive. It seems to me that your physical health is more important!
Perhaps your husband is afraid that your lack of desire is a reflection on him, I don't know, but it was awful of him to leave you like that! Some people feel that they are entitled to lots of things, sex is just one of them. Perhaps he does feel overwhelmed, but so are you!
Testosterone can bring back a flagging sex drive, but it is a dangerous drug, even dangerous for men to use.
Please keep your courage up, and let us know how you do! xxx

The difficulty is that men have so much testosterone in their systems (it's a wonder they can even hold a conversation if you know how much).
In men, testosterone supplementation is associated with blood clots, strokes and heart attacks. In the US, law firms regularly advertise on TV, asking men who were taking testosterone and suffered the above to call them in order to sue the drug companies. For instance, men prescribed testosterone gel are warned not to touch their partners or children with the gel on their hands or keep it where their partners or children can come into contact with it.
Women who are prescribed testosterone supplementation (it's a very small amount) in addition to an increased libido, also can start to grow hair on their faces, etc.
And, unfortunately, that pill that was supposed to increase female desire doesn't work for everyone.
If you decide to try a supplement that indicates it will increase desire, please look for the side effects on line.
Stay safe! xxx
