I'm beginning to think I'm just plain frigid. I'm a very young 52, fit, healthy, no meno symptoms other than no periods. No marital problems. I had my testosterone and all other hormones checked and my testosterone was "above normal" along with my progesterone. Estrogens were low. The problem is DH and I haven't got intimate for 13 months. I just creep out when I think he's interested (frequently). Honestly, Mr. Pitt could walk naked through my house and I would say, "Hey, nice!" and that would be the end of it. (I'm trying to make light here, but I'm really dying inside...or perhaps I'm already dead.) My doc gave me some Amazonian herb to try but it didn't work. I just can't stand being touched even, if I think it's going to lead somewhere. Ugh! Anyone else feel like this?

Could be you are out of balance with the estrogen level low. The progesterone level could be causing some mild depression without the estrogen to balance it. Has the doctor considered that? Zelma

The only thing that has worked for me EVER was a small amount of DHEA (I read some studies that it increased desire). I now use just 5 mg., but when I want to feel sexy, I use 10 mg. for a couple of days only. It has not failed me yet. Big Pharma has not yet figured out how to distort the natural DHEA so they can patent it and make money, so it is completely bio-identical. I am careful about brands, though. One of the best (and expensive) is TwinLab. Natural estrogen did nothing for my libido, but did help other things greatly. Just a thought, everyone is different.

Rosina, I am the same age as you and I also have absolutely no sex drive. Mine has been gone for about 10 years. Use to be that after a glass of wine or two I was ready to go. Now I have no desire at all, and it has really taken a toll on my marriage. I had my testosterone tested several years ago (before the change) and it was so high that it was off the scale. They ran the test twice to make sure. I recently read a book called "Hormones and the Mind" by Dr. Edward Klaiber. He states that both estrogen and testosterone levels determine libido. As I recall, he said that testosterone won't help your sex drive if you are lacking adequate levels of estrogen. My own personal experience would certainly attest to that. I had absolutley no sex drive when my testosterone was off the chart. Go figure.

Are any of you taking any medications that can lower libido, such as antidepressants, or blood pressure meds.

Oh yes, I can identify. I am the poster child for no libido. I have PCOS and so am much too familiar with testosterone that is too high and its many affects...facial hair foremost among them. I shudder to think at what I would have to go thru to remove hair if I delved into testosterone. I know I have to be peri although my bloodwork continues to be "normal" year after year...Frankly, I think that after so many years of sex my lack of interest stems from many things that have built up thru 38 years of marriage. Plus the fact that I am not adverse to sex as such; it is, the"dog and pony show" that I object too. Nothing perverse mind you just"stuff" if you follow( and I am sure you do) I hardly feel sorry for the man PLUS as I have a period every 28 days the thought of getting PG while having sex with a man producing sperm is hardly a turn-on...and yada yada..
