Not feeling "frisky" yet

I realize it will be a while before I am allowed to have intercourse, but I am concerned because I have not gotten a single sensation from certain scenes in movies or on tv that would usually cause a reaction for me. A friend just had this done about 2 months ago and she said it took about 6 weeks for her, but I think she was just talking about when she was allowed to do anything. I am only 32, and my Dr has been suggesting I get this done since I was 29, but I put it off as long as possible because I have always had a great sex drive, and didn't want to lose it. I am on estrodol and progesterone now, and Im only 9 days post op so I know it's possible for me to be overreacting about nothing, its just so odd for me to not have felt "frisky" for so long. Is this common? I have heard that estrix (sp) helps with the libido. But other that this issue, my menopause seems ok so far, yet not a lot of time has passed for me to really see how I am doing with it. Anyone else have this concern so early in their recovery?

Hi Gardengal!

Looks like we are pretty close in this new path. My surgery date was April 9, 2013. I am curious as well about the frisky business. Mine might be a lil different. Sad to say that at 47 I just wasn't all that interested in sex to begin with for a while. But, now all of a sudden I find myself flirting up a storm and making lil provocative remarks to my husband. I think in my case a switch has been turned on. Good luck.

I wasn't interested in sex much before my op ( sad to say at only 39 years old but true) and certainly haven't had any urges as yet to pounce on poor hubby!
