Have you talked to your doctor about your sex drive decreasing since having a baby?

Question

If so, what did they say? My husband wants me to see a doctor for my lack of a sex drive these past 17 months since my son was born (I’m still nursing)... I think it pointless because I’m not going to take any meds to increase my sex drive.. I don’t like taking meds unless it’s absolutely necessary. Plus, I hate going to the doctor if I don’t have to!

Answer

It is because you are still breastfeeding so no, I would not see a doctor about it.  Here is an article you could let him read to help him understand.

Answer

No. But if it got to the point that my husband wanted me to see a doctor about it, I'd take a look at what's going on. If y'all aren't having sex, ever, I'd try harder to make it happen.

Answer

I haven’t talked to my doctor about anything like that just because I haven’t experienced it. My sex drive slightly increased after having my son.
But, if it did decrease, if after a year my sex drive didn’t improve or go back to normal then I’d definitely talk to my doctor about it. Especially if my SO requested I at least bring it up.

Answer

Yes, it’s hormones. They haven’t completely evened out yet. Do talk to your doctor if it’s causing issues in your marriage. I’m not sure what the options are with breastfeeding, but it’s worth it to ask. I was not breastfeeding so I decided to try Maca root, which did help.
