Hi, so recently I’ve been having a problem with my libido and being very dry.
To give context, I’ve had a lot of issues since I was thirteen regarding my ovulation and just stuff going on down there. No doctor has really been able to figure out what has occurred since I was so young and what not. I’m now 21.
I took some blood tests when I was younger and I had very high testosterone and very very irregular periods. To combat my issues, I was put on norethindrone for about 7 years and just stopped having my period all together. I also take Wellbutrin, celexa, and focalin.
Back in June, I had to switch gynecologists and the new gynecologist was horrified that I hadn’t had a period in almost 6 years and also felt my norethindrone was too high and unsafe. She switched me to microgestin.
My mom was really concerned about me being on these drugs and also felt I need to have a period and naturally shed as it’s super unhealthy and the goal is to keep me off the drugs and hopefully my issues from when I was a teenager won’t return and my hormones have leveled out. I came off of it three weeks ago and have yet to get a period.
My psychiatrist also increased my celexa last month of 20 mg to 30mg.
I became sexually active at 18 and always had a very high sex drive. I miss that side of me. I started having a decreased sexual drive and dryness around march and it’s just progressively gotten worse and I don’t know why. Mentally I’m there and physically I’m not. My body won’t match my brain and it’s super frustrating. I’m mentally turned on and naturally a very physical person, but lately that hasn’t occurred. I’ve been with my boyfriend for 8 months and when those changes started to happen I’ve been tending to deny sex and I rarely initiate. It has nothing to do with him. I hate that my mind and body aren’t connecting. I’ve become very dry and don’t get as wet as I once did. I want my old self back.
My boyfriend has confessed it has made him feel a little bad. While he understands and feels bad about what I have shared, he can’t help but feel like it’s him and that he does feel like turned down and like I’m losing interest when I do this. He’s trying to understand and is empathetic, but does confess it’s hard for him. I love him so much and I don’t know what’s going on with me but I’m just not the same and it’s killing me.
Please give me some advice/explain what a going on. I want to go back to the way things were and how sexual we once were.
