i'm never interested and it's causing probs

yeah me too but it's not working.

ive talked to my dr and she said unfortunately theres nothing that can be done about it

yeah, situation with leo isnt helping either

what can i do?

he says things wont get better till I do more....it's one big circle!!!

yeah, ur telling me

tawnya maybe it's time you checked out those clinics for ptsd stuff...group counselling or maybe there's an association

of people with spouces who suffer from ptsd

coping skills etc

men can be idiots

there's so much going on in your life it's understandable to lose sex drive

yeah i know

there was more stress before and I didn't have any probs with it but after DD, don't even ask for it

i think a lot of it is to do with weight for me

i just don't feel attractive enough lot of times

yeah, it was like that after having my first son, then it was great when I met DH. then after child #2, it was still

Hey. Just signed on.

fine but after DD (child #3) just don't ask then after child #4...don't even think of it.

Tawnya, your doctor said there was nothing to do about it? Your doctor is an ignorant asshole!

how old is your youngest child?

yeah, she said that theres no meds or anything for women. my youngest is 11 months.

yeah i agree apparently i missed that part. Idiot doctor

there's always something that can be done

did she even begin to diagnose the problem?

sex drive is a combination of mental state and hormones. You need your hormone levels tested and may need some type of suplement.

isolate what could be causing this lack of sex drive?

how old is your youngest?

it takes 2 years for a woman's hormones to get back to normal after having a baby.

thats what i thought but i figured she was the dr.

jeez...really?

my youngest is 11 months

and, a woman's hormones change approximately every 7 years.

but this is the worst its been after having a child

I had a total hysterectomy, including removal of both ovaries, at the age of 41. Believe me, I've done my research on hormones.

medial science has not made women and their enjoyment of sex a priority.

but they sure have for men

if your hormones aren't balanced, you will not care whether or not you have sex. Mentally, you might feel ike you should...

but, physically, you could take it or leave it.

i always thought it was 12 months

maybe thats my prob. i just totally dont care at all if i have it. maybe there is a hormonal imbalance or something

yeah, i need to go and talk to planned parenthood

i will

as a woman, there is one thing I've learned....keep pushing and keep looking until you find answers. Don't accept no as an answer.

yes and keep us posted

yeah, im learning that too

I had my hysterectomy after getting bad information from my doctor. Doctors don't know everything and some are good and some are bad.

yeah i know

after my surgery, sex was painful and I had zero libido. Now, I'm back to normal. If I had listened to my frst doctor....

I woul not have a sex life today.

really?

yes, really. I researched the internet, read books, and found answers. Then, I found a doctor who would work with me.

I went through 4 doctors to find this one. She is wonderful.

yes, it is.

k, just got off the phone with planned parenthood.

$125 for doctor visit

no govt fund, they ran out of money and wont find out if they will get any till sept

additional $40 to get tested for hormonal imbalance

i dont know where else to look. thats the only place i've been told that can help when u dont have money or ins

i might just have to save money or wait to see if they get approved for govt help

maybe ask them if they know of any govt funded facilities that are free?

wow. I'm sorry.

who told you that was the only place?

or since you're going to vegas maybe find one there??

thats what i was just gonna write. ill call the one in vegas when i get there and see if they have free services

try calling a local gynecologist offices and find out if they have a program or know where else you can go.

well im thinking ill just stick it out till vegas and see if the planned parenthood there will help

i tried getting medicaid but they said because we own two cars that i dont qualify

our government doesn't do a very good job with medicaid.

no they dont. its terrible.

thats awful just cuz you have 2 cars they refused. Health care here is not the best at times

yeah because we're still making payments on them that they see it that we have the money for the ins. as well

yeah i know
