Maybe you can give me direction. About 6 years ago I lost all interest in sex. My husband and I had only been married about a year and had had a really healthy sex life until then. I have talked to multiple doctors with the only recommendation being to get on birth control, but the hormones make me crazy and I was told that the copper IUD probably wouldn't be a good fit for me. I was on Nuvaring for 6 months, but it didn't do anything but make me over emotional. I talked to a therapist for a few months, but even with all the suggestions I still completely struggle to feel any desire. My husband tries to be understanding, but after 6 years it's hard. It's really starting to take a toll on our marriage. What would you suggest?

I took out my mirena because it was causing pain, got pregnant immediately and miscarried at 8 weeks. I got pregnant a month after that with my 5 year old. I'm certain that's a huge piece of the puzzle, but that was 6 years ago and I did talk to a therapist after my daughter was born. Edit: I'm pretty good about doing a 10 minute workout 75% of the time.

I've tried. Read novels, tried to think back on times of when I felt a lot of desire and pleasure in certain situations and there's just nothing. It's just so frustrating when I know there are certain factors that hinder it, but I feel like I'll never be back to "normal" again. Or even to a point where I can want sex with my husband and it won't cause fights or a disconnect.

What the hell did I stumble into?
