when will my libido come back???
| Fri, 10-22-2004 - 3:17pm |
i've had a paragard iud for 3 months now. i had previously been on bcp for 6 years & it killed my libido! slowly but surely, my libido is coming back, but not in full force! i was wondering hw long it typically takes for it to return? i know that it's most likely different for everyone, but does 3 months seem like a long time?
when i was on bcp, i stopped taking the pills for 1 month & my libido came roaring back! i was hoping to exerpience the same with my iud!
work has also been very busy & i haven't been getting enough sleep lately, so i'm sure that has something to contribute to it. but i miss my libido! hopefully it will come back to me soon! thanks for listening!

Hi bp119, welcome!
My experience coming off hormones was just like yours, my libido came roaring back and I felt so much more vibrant and alive! Who could have known? I think 3 months should have been more than enough time with a ParaGard for your libido to rebound. I'll bet your stress and lack of sleep is having a lot to do with its suppression. Keep us posted on how you're doing, ok?
Take care,
Jill
Unlike Jill, my libido didn't "roar back", but I did notice a marked change fairly quickly. Within a couple of weeks for sure.
For me, now, my body is almost always "ready" (just about as ready as his!) but my mind still takes a little work. If my mind can get into the idea, my body is ready & waiting (on BCP the mind needed to be aroused, then the body needed a little more work after that).
I suspect your problem is the business & lack of sleep!
