Bad Sex Life

[marion]

Cant remember when we last had sex. I feel so guilty but am not on the pill and my hubby doesnt like condoms so you can imagine want he wants every so often. The thing is I really dont want to do anything. Have tried saying I dont want to do whatever but I feel so guilty (he has needs!) I always end up giving in to give him some 'release'! Twice I have been in the middle of ..... and ended up crying - really makes it a horrid experience all round!

I never had a big sex drive but it's getting ridiculous. Worried he will get sick of me and leave. I know he loved me but he's male!!!!!!!! I also love him very much and want to make him happy but all I think of when we're in the middle is 'will she wake up/I should be doing....../this is the only time I have to myself in the day and you want me to do this!' That sounds so harsh.

Have bought some condoms today as I'd rather make love than the other stuff but he moaned saying he didnt like them.

What other contracetpive stuff doesnt affect our hormones? I'm so scared of getting pregnant again.
Have started on natural progesterone cream and am hoping this will up my sex drive a bit.
Thanks
Marion.

Hi Marion,

The Mirena coil was recommended to me - it didn't suit me, but this is very rare.
I know lots of women who think it's wonderful! I believe it can be kept in for up to 5 years and that it's easy to insert after childbirth. There is a small amount of hormone emission, I think, but it is supposed to be a small amount..

My hubby has ended up having the snip - but we have two children, so we felt the time was right!

HopefulXX
