Hey

I have no libido! I don't know about low. I have absolutely no desire at all. I feel like I would be quite happy to never have sex for the rest of my life.

I am currently trying to get my weight down and I am hoping this will help. I am planning on getting my hormone levels tested soon to figure out exactly what is going on as I am currently not on any medication to control the PCOS... I actually came off a homeopathic supplement I have been taking which includes Agnus Castus amongst other things - so that I can get the tests done as I want to know the baseline of where I am at without any 'help' at all.

I shall be interested to see other cysters input on this thread. Sorry that I have not been able to help... but rest assured you are not alone!!

Me too. I used to be the complete opposite.

I am having the same problem. I am currently just taking Provera. Fortunately, my DH has been great about it-I think I am harder on myself about it. I too am overweight I have lost over 20 pounds and hoped that the weight loss might help but so far it has not.
I am going to an RE for the first time this week and plan to bring this up as one of many issues. I will let you know what I find out.

I notice that my libido is directly related to how fat I am at a particular time. A few years ago I had lost 30lbs. Not that it was a lot considering how overweight I am but I felt GREAT and my libido was way up there.

I gained that weight back and BLAH............nothing...............

I battle with depression and sometimes the worst thing is even just getting out of bed. I have noticed that if I force myself to get up, showered and shave my legs etc, I always feel better.

I think that the core of the loss of libido for me is how I feel about my weight and looks. So, I make extra effort - I try to maintain my shaving regime and self tan etc. I notice that if I let basic stuff like that slide, them my depression kicks in hard. It's a constant cycle and even though I take St Johns Wort (which I do find works for my mental state and my libido), I still need to work on other stuff myself....kind of like if you diet but don't exercise - they both go hand in hand and if you let one slide, you don't get as good a result.

ALSO - if your partner isn't hitting the spot physically (is he letting himself go too), then address that with him. It takes 2!

I found this on a website - it's quite an informative piece on female sexual disfunction.

oh thanx for posting...mine is low and i never reach o either.....this has always been the case but ive been on yaz for the past six months or so...I dont get it...my hair falls out and i have acne i had no period for 5 months and these are all suppose to be signs of high testosterone levels but I have no sex drive!!!! i dont know what my testosterone levels are, i cant remember if they checked, but everything was normal at the time. Let me know guys if u find anything out, i guess im gonna go get my levels checked.

I've pretty much had no libido for the past couple years now. I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I hadn't had a period for the same amount of time. I took Provera and AF is now visiting. I wonder if this will change.

Thanks georgy for the link. I read the article and it really does give a lot of tips!

seaphur

my libido is really low too but i think it's slowly getting better as my hormones get in check with the met. i'm finally getting away from feeling like i could go forever w/o sex which is good since we're going ot get back to ttc soon

Liloppy

I too had this problem. I started doing accupuncture and let me tell you, she has gotten me off the yaz, avandia, depression meds, spiro, rhuematiod arthritis meds. I take herbs now and I have had 2 cycles in a row now with her help. I would not say that my libido is 100% fixed, but I am more in the mood then I have been in the last 5 years.

Musicincminor, I would not recommend supplementing testosterone on your own. Please discuss this with your doctor. If your androgens are already elevated--as they often are in women with PCOS--you will only make matters worse by increasing your levels of testosterone. Good luck!

BCPs cause low to no libido
