thanx all...im not breastfeeding...and maybe should have mentioned zachy is 3 this decemberUrban Ayisha wrote:i've experienced the same problem and i know its incredibly frustrating so my heart really goes out to you. it is shocking that your doctor would suggest HRT!!! what a p*ll*ck!!!! it helps if u can talk about it with yr hubby as you need to be understood. i was reading a book that wasnt smutty per se (zadie smith) but did have a sex scene in it and that was when i first felt it kick back in. obviously, hubby doesnt get it as much as he'd like to (does any man?!) but a year on from the birth of LO i'm slowly getting my libido back, so theres hope yet, just dont rush yourself, loss of libido is a natural contraceptive that is probably all too welcome soon after the birth of a child!! are u breastfeeding? i was up until LO turned one and til then my boobs had been a no-go area for hubby but i'm thinking that could change soon too...
as for supplements, i've used one called horny goat weed in the past which i got from H&B. it was pricy, but helped. not sure if your allowed to take it when BFing though but could help!!
give yourself time and just know that your not alone. loss of libido is incredibly common post-partum, but that doesnt make it any easier on a relationship! i know how u feel!!
i went and bought aome zinc suppplements yesterday and the lady in there said about horny goat as well
