Hi,
Well, what I think is: you are normal and like many other women! :-)
How old is your 3rd child? (meaning, is s/he a newborn, infant, toddler, preschool, or older?). How old are you & your hubby?
Do you feel like your hubby is helping out with the kids, the chores, the "invisible housework" (calling to make doctor appointments, keeping up with social obligations, paying bills, planning meals, etc)? Is he trying to help in open communication, being respectful and a good friend in your marriage? Are you doing the same for him?
Do you feel like you have time to yourself to recharge? To be with friends? Is this time guilt-free? Does your hubby also have time to himself, and time with friends...also guilt-free?
Do you have togetherness time with your hubby, without the kids, on a regular basis (whether that is once a week or twice a month)?
I guess the questions I'm asking have more to do with how you view your life, your marriage, any resentments you may have, etc, rather than something being biologically or chemically un-balanced. If you do have any hormonal imbalances, do you have other symptoms? Have you had your hormone levels checked?
Hang in there...this is a great community of women who have asked and discussed this very topic; you'll receive some great information. I hope we hear back from you soon!
