I deal with this same issue. In the beginning, we had sex up to four times a day, but rarely less than two times a day. Eventually it evened out to once a day, but since PCOS and the weight gain, there were times we went weeks or even a month. Once that I recall it was more like six weeks.
I know that hormones are a factor, but I found when I was walking, it made me feel so much better about myself. Though I had only lost two pounds, I felt so much more attractive and interested in being intimate.
I find too that it helps to be affectionate throughout the day. Hubby and I make sure to hug and kiss before leaving for work and before going to bed. We sometimes just make out like teens even if we know it won't lead to anything else. When I'm doing dishes or making dinner, he'll come up and hug me from behind and sneak a feel or I'll grab his butt . . . and those sorts of thing.
It keeps us intimate, even if it's not sex. Keeping yourselves connected like that does make it easier and feel more natural to transition to sex if it's going to head that way.
If we were never affectionate at any other times, I don't think I could ever feel like I wanted to have sex.
