My husbands sex drive had gone down the toilet. The last few years he's wanted it less and less. I first noticed it after we had our first child and I thought it was a normal adjustment to becoming parents. But then when I was always the one initiating and he was always too tired, had a headache or wasn't in the mood I thought, this can't be right. He is 26! Men his age should have a healthy sex drive! I'm not saying he needs to want it all the time, but it would be nice if he wanted it sometimes. This has taken a huge hit to my self confidence. So recently I asked him if he would be willing to take an at home testosterone test. He agreed so he got it and the results were insanely low. It was 10 pg/ml. It should be more like 500. I talked to a doctor about the results and he wants him to get a few more tests to see what's going on. Like he might have thyroid issues which is causing the low t. I have been the one talking to the doctor and getting the tests ordered, making appointments and he's acting annoyed with me! I know that low t is a sensitive subject for men and I've tried to be kind and understanding of that. I've tried so hard to not make him feel bad. But I know this needs to get taken care of because his mom has severe thyroid issues to the point where she is in bed all the time because she can't function. And i don't want him to get to that point. Am I supposed to push him to get the tests or am I supposed to sit back and not care? Because if I left it up to him he would not get the tests. He said he doesn't see the problem. He feels fine and thinks we should wait until winter when he is less busy with work. I'm frustrated right now! I want him to feel good and I know this low t has affected more than just his sex drive. Has anyone gone through something similar?
