Did any women in this forum that had this issue with Mirena get their hormone levels checked before they got it removed? If so, then what were the results?
I'm very sorry for the personal question, but did any women that had this issue masturbate and it was just the idea of sex with a physical person (your husband) not seem appealing? I heard one woman say that mentally she thought about it but when it came to the physical part it just wasn't there.
Here's my background:
I'm the guy here, and my marriage is in serious trouble now. I pretty much define a relationship through affection. In my opinion, without affection you are just good friends or roommates.
We were very sexually active before my wife got pregnant with our first. My wife has had the IUD for pretty much our whole marriage. We decided to have a baby right away and she got the IUD right after the birth of our son. Sex and affection has never been in abundance after that, (maybe once a month) but I attributed that to just having a kid. Over the years it got to the point where if I didn't bring up the idea of sex or attempt to get something started then it wasn't happening. I tested it a couple of times and went 3 months before I said something. It was basically like she just didn't think about it at all.
My wife had the IUD replaced at the 5 year mark and things have gotten worse. Our son is 8. We have had some arguments over the years. Not many though, maybe one to two a year. Some stemming from lack of affection and others not. So, now it has been a year since we've had sex. So, I showed her this thread because we are basically on the brink of divorce. She blames her lack of wanting to be affectionate at all on the past arguments and shutting me out, which I'm sure that is part of it. But, I believe there has to be something more because we actually have a good relationship day to day. We would be great friends/roommates, but I don't think I can be in an A-sexual relationship for another 40 years. I believe, she would probably be just fine with it.
So, I showed this thread to my wife hoping this could actually be part of the issue. She got her hormone levels tested and they cam back fine, so now, I don't think she is going to get it removed. It was kind of my last hope. We still do marriage counseling, but I don't think something is going to magically make her want to have be affectionate.
