Hey Ladies

Hope your all doing well. I'm doing alittle better, taking my meds for the adrenal issues and progesterone to help balance the hormones.

But.......I have absolutely no interest in sex with my husband. Just the thought of it makes me sick. I'm now getting anxiety whenever he's around because I know him and its all he thinks about. I'm suppose to be letting go of more stress because of this adrenal thing, and now the sex anxiety, what can I do. If anyone has any advice could you please share it.

Thanks so much

When my peri symptoms started they were horrible,I had vaginal dryness,and no interest in sex.I know how you feel-the very best advice I can give you is to sit down with your husband and tell him exactly what is going on with your body and how you feel.Tell him you love him,but that you cannot give him the physical part right now.After being on low dose bcp for almost 3 years now I have most of my drive back-so do not give up hope.GOD-bless

I am post by 18 months and my interest in sex has waned even further to an all time low....I don't urge it, think about it or want to do it......thank god my husband is not a highly sexed person, or I would be in trouble!

I am awaiting results from a post meno saliva test to see what my problem is...will know by Friday, so maybe I'll get my interest back by next week!!!!????

I am 2-1/2 yrs post menopause now. When I was in late peri-menopause I got to the point of being repulsed by the thought of my husband either touching me or me touching him at times. It scared the ........ out of me. I had no interest in sex whatsoever. I too would feel anxious at the thought that he might want to do it. Since I went into post menopause I still have no interest in sex at all...but am not repulsed at the thought anymore. I just feel sad about it because I think it is a part of marriage that makes you feel connected to your husband. But in the last few years I think my husband is starting to go through male midlife problems and I think he has lost interest in sex ( but I don't think he would admit it).

I too do not know what to do about it. Tried to talk to a number of doctors about it but none of them had any suggestions as to what I could do about my lack of libido. It is not my only problem because things "down there" have changed for the worse...so lack of interest is not my only problem.

So if anyone has the answer to our problems I would be real interested to hear about it or at least tell us that it does not last forever. Please tell us that it does not last forever.
