O/T too embarrassed to ask anyone else..
| Sat, 04-14-2007 - 6:28pm |
I hope this question isn't offensive to anyone but i don't know who else to ask.I don't want to ask my friends because i am ashamed.
About 10 years ago when i was 30 i spoke to my doctor about lack of desire. She ran a battery of tests and told me my progesterone levels were low but not alarming low.
She told me this affects desire. It has gotten much worse in the last 5 years probably in part due to my sleep disorder. Does anyone know if progesterone levels fluctuate b/c sometimes there is a strong desire for a week or so but then it goes away usually for months at a time.
Does anyone else have this problem? Quite frankly it is affecting my relationship and it is affecting how i feel about myself. I know i did not grow up with a healthy attitude regarding sexual health and sometimes i have those negative thoughts at inappropriate times.
Thanks for listening.

Don't be embarrassed, its a very common issue for women and men too I presume. There are Dr.s that deal specifically with this issue or sexual issues in general. I don't remember where you live, but if you're in a large urban centre you may be able to get a referal from your family Dr. (and don't let them sluff you off, INSIST on seeing someone).
Oh Kelly, gosh I am so happy you feel comfortable chatting with us about this stuff!

Hugs, Kelly I'm sorry that you're going through this but glad you feel comfortable to bring it up here. Although I can't speak from a personal perspective, I can say that many women do feel a surge in libido during ovulation, and I know a bunch of women who say that as soon as the ovulation part of their cycle is over, their desire just goes away til after their period.
