low sex drive/pcos

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!

I was also just recently found out i have pcos. My partner has a very high sex drive and i have none at all. You would think that she being a woman would ubderstand the pain and emotional stress im under but it seems to be hurting our relationship...i dont know what to do! I love her and feel like pcos is tearing us apart.

i am so glad i am not alone. i found out when i was 18 that i had PCOS. my sex drive was fine until the dr put me on clomid. now i have to force myself to have sex. i am 27 now. i just do it now to make my hubby happy. he does not understand that i can't help it. he thinks that i am not attracted to him and thats why i don't want to have sex. wrong. has anyone found anything to increase their sex drives. please let me know.

I agree with you. I'm not 30 .. I found out I had PCOS and Hypothyroidism when I was 26. I had my little girl in feb of 2005 ..soon after I had her I felt great for a month or town and things seem to go down hill quick. I felt like crap! I wasn't having a period not spotting nothing.. I had dry skin, brittle hair, weight gain BIG TIME, hair growth that I didn't have before, my mood was CRAZY! LOL : )
Nov of 2005 was when I found out I had PCOS and Hypothyroidism.. I was a big change for me to adjust to. From 2005 till now I have had a great sex drive.. and again foreplay is the key! : ) But these last few month is been bad for me.. I went from having a great sex drive to not having one! I know it has to have a lot to do with my health issue and I do think it's important for you to always talk to your partner about it so they will understand better.

P.S. I'm new to this site and I hope I posted appropriate response! I feel so clueless on here... if anyone has any tips.. please share them with me.. all feed back is always welcome! THANK YOU!! : ) Cat
