Anyone else experience this?

This is my first post although I have read many posts on these boards and they are lifesavers. I have a question. I was diagnosed (due to cysts) immediately prior to conceiving my first son (still a miracle in the eyes of my Dr.). However after the birth of my son life started to get different for my husband and I. He went through 9 months of pain and was finally dx with Crohns. I went through a month thinking I was losing him. Needless to say for almost 1.5 years after the birth of our son, our love life was minimal. Then when he was better, I was busy going crazy (or at least being told I was). See my IM Dr. didn't know much about PCOS and told me b/c I wasn't extremely obese, and didn't present hair on my body there was no way that I had PCOS and that my cysts were "obscure". I cried. I knew something was wrong and no one would listen. I finally found (10/02) an Endo who listened to me, ran tests and indeed determined me PCOS and IR. Relief?!?!? Strange that I would think that.

However, now I am still have trouble, it is like I have zero drive for love making. Is anyone else experiencing this? If yes, how do you explain to DH that you love them, but need a little time etc. Or am I really losing it this time.

OK, this is getting long enough. Sorry, just wanting to see if I am alone in this or not.

Thank you for listening.

Well, as far as no desire, yes that has happened to me on several different occasions. Usually it is because my hormones are out of whack. I find that when my hormones are in check that my desire seems to be a whole lot better. Are you on any medications as of yet? When I take metformin, I feel so much better because it seems to help my hormones.

I hope that things are better for you soon.

I can relate. my sex drive is zilch... I told my dh that i had a dream about him and his ex ...and his response was "well at least i'm getting some action somewhere even if it's in your dreams"
he's not really an ass ( i don't think)... i think he's just frustrated, as am i... and i don't know how to explain it to him so that he understands.
maybe if he got his butt on here and read a few things he would understand.. but i can't tie him to this chair and make him do it.
