Help! Have started menopause, and found my libido to be almost nil. Any tips on how to increase. Thanks

I had my ovaries removed in March and now find that although I still want sex I can hardly feel anything. I have been devastated and therefore have been doing lots of research!
Firstly try taking zinc supplements. They are supposed to increase testosterone levels which are responsible for libido. I have only just started them so I dont know yet if they will help. Another thing you could try is Aviva sativa which is supposed to free up bound testosterone in your body. It is really for men but it is supposed to work on ladies as well. It is safe as it is made from wild oat extract, but it gave me palpitations and hyped me up like I had been drinking too much coffee so I gave it up. It didnt seem to affect my libido at all.
Another thing that dampens libido is estrogen dominance which is common in peri-menopause. It certainly affected me dreadfully. The answer to that is to take progesterone to balance it.
Hope that helps
