Well like a lot of the women who have posted here, I have absolutely no sex drive at all. I got my Mirena implant in April of last year, so it's been a little over a year. I could probably count on one hand how many times my boyfriend and I have had sex since then. I have no desire. I don't want to be touched. I don't want to cuddle, kiss, nothing. And I used to have an insane libido. I just thought it was going down because I was getting a little older (I'm 32 now) but I know it is not normal for a 32 year old to not be interested in sex at all. I'm not 90!!!! I then thought, maybe it was stress. I have a two year old son (whom I love dearly but to be honest, I did not want kids, so I struggled with that for a LONG time), I work full time and am going to school (I'm getting my computer science degree and am currently taking REALLY hard computer programming classes). But the really hard classes are over, I have grown into and accepted my role as a mother and my job, luckily, really isn't that stressful. I actually like my job. My and my boyfriends relationship has really dwindled. We are more like friends now instead of lovers. We don't fight about it very often, but I know it bothers him. He doesn't even try anymore. So I know he is probably at the point where he has given up on us. It's really sad because I love him a lot and he is the first decent guy I've ever had. I've had bad luck with relationships all of my life. I finally meet a good guy two years ago and now I have no interest in sex. This is just awful. It really isn't very encouraging to read the posts from others who have had the implant removed and still didn't get their libido back. I have an appointment Wednesday to talk to my doctor. I guess I will check other options but I'm running out of BC methods. I absolutely do NOT want another child! But I don't want to become an asexual monk either. The shot made me gain too much weight. I was ridiculously angry and frustrated about EVERYTHING on the pill (and I was even taking the low hormone Ortho Tri Cylene Lo, it's supposed to be the lowest dose hormone pill on the market) and now Mirena has killed my libido. I'm running out of options and don't know what to do. This is so frustrating and unfair. You would think in this day and age, women would have reliable BC options that don't ruin their lives. *sighs*
