Menopause?

Both my period & libido is missing this month! I'm not grieving the lack of period, just the libido I've had for about 44 years now! The doctor's prescribed a topical testosterone cream for me, that I have yet to use, because the pharmacy is waiting for a shipment. I've tried Zestra & Excite, but they did nothing.Help!

It's very, very common for our sex drive to take a massive plunge when we hit menopause. It's all about hormones, as you know, since your doc perscribed testosterone cream, which I can tell you doesn't work. Well, perhaps I shouldn't make quite such a bold statement. It did absolutely nothing for me, and believe me, I tried many times! LOL
Many women swear by HRT, but there were too many reasons I couldn't take it. So I just waited and little by little my libido returned. It's never been quite the same, but at least it's way better than NONE!
I believe they've come out with a female form of Viagra now.........talk to your doctor about that. (I hope it wasn't just a joke!)
Don't despair. You just said THIS month.............
Peace
