Unhappy - Libido Help Libido Help

Hi,

After the TVH, (I did keep ovaries), I have been having issues with no libido, and orgasm issues. I asked my doctor for testosterone to up the libido, I found I was a mean woman. Anyhow, to make a long story short, I think I have asked in another area, but what would you suggest. I realize that you aren't doctors, BUT, not all doctors have had hysterectomies, and although I was warned that sexual response could be a side effect, I am wondering what other women would suggest.

One thing I have noticed is even prior to trying the testosterone, my breasts have lost weight.

Help. Please. I just want to feel normal again, and I feel like I have lost my femininity, saggy boobs, no sex drive, no orgasm, or if I do have an orgasm, it is a flutter.

Re: Libido Help

You might see if the doctor can test to see if your ovaries are still working. Estrogen makes the breasts bigger and can help with libido in some people.

Re: Libido Help, now on Estroidal gel

Just started up on the estroidal gel. Dr. Had done my bloodwork and found both FSH and the other hormone were low, even though I have my ovaries.

Just waiting to get my breasts back and some sort of a libido. I never thought I would have to take hormones, but, c'est la vie .

He gave me the time line of 6-8 weeks.
