low sex drive/pcos

[twin_mama]

could PCOS make you sudently have a Very low sex drive? we went from 2-3 times a week to 1-2 a month. Even when we do it, it's just to please my DH, i mean i have no desire at all.
I have been diagnosed with PCOS for 8 years and gave birth to a cute B?G twins 2 years ago after several miscariages.
I took Metformine and Clomid for 3 cycles.
i'm worried about our relationship.
Please help!

same here...i used to have a high sex drive and now it's in the negatives. I blame the weight gain plus being a mom to a 3 yr old- it has me feeling less than sexy these days and more stressed than ever. I feel bad for my hubby bc it's not his fault. After I had my son, the pcos spiraled out of control and I've been orgasmless for 3 yrs. God how I miss those... ::tear::

I really don't think that my sex drive is low. I would say if it was up to me and DH would be bding everyday. With school, and both being in school that doesn't happen. I am actually the one complaining because I always say that if we TTC, it will not happen with having sex 3-4 a month. But he saids that you always hear of other people having a "one night stand" and getting prego. I don't know if I have had an orgasm. I don't want to give TMI, because I think I do? Sorry I may sound very dumb, but it like when we are having sex it feels good, and I enjoy.

I also have psco 2.... I would not have  orgasm either... My sex life sucked ended up going to the dr about it and the reason that i was not having orgasm was b/c of psco.. The dr acted like it was no b deal... So when my husband and I decided 2 start trying for a baby... I had to go to the dr b/c I could not get preg.. He put me on metformin after taking for a month I started having orgasms.. So now when Im not trying to get preg i still stay on the metformin... My husband tells me im going to kill him haha,,

I also have PCOS since I was a teenager.

I actually have a high sex drive!  my DH and I don't have sex that much anymore. sometimes its 1 time a month sometimes its 3-5 times a month.  of course its more now since we are TTC

I didn't realize that PCOS could cause you to lose your sex drive.  I could do it everyday if it was up to me.

I wish all of you ladies the best. and just stop worrying about sex, a relationship is not all about that. Maybe that once a month that you actually want to do it, you and you DH should try to make it more romantic and take it slow.  If its more enjoyable for you you might want it more often.

Good Luck

I wish I could say this thread was comforting. I am 24, was diagnosed with PCOS 3 years ago.  My boyfriend and I are always arguing about sex.  we have sex 3-5 times a month and he wants more, but I just have no desire to.  I want to live with him forever, grow old together, but this is tearing us apart.  he is so bitter towards me over this and there is nothing I can do to fix it.  I really wish I knew what to do.

This is a great thread, but it's sad that while we are all commiserating, no one has found any solutions.

I am about to switch to d-chiro-inositol  - I've read on other forums that it helps.
