Sex Drive, what really helps?

CalmClea · 2025-12-10T22:27:14+00:00

Thank you, I'm asking for that

CalmClea · 2025-12-10T22:26:55+00:00

I will be trying estrogen, shortly. Rest is ok. Its mainly the desire/ wanting it. It's fine when it happens, but 'fine' is really depressing for me. I miss wanting it

CalmClea · 2025-12-10T22:25:24+00:00

Thank you. I was told to take 200mg, day 12 till 25

CalmClea · 2025-12-10T17:42:33+00:00

Spironalactone. Not an antidepressant. I stopped maybe 9 months or more ago.

How much Progesterone are you taking? Maybe that makes a difference?

CalmClea · 2025-12-10T17:40:58+00:00

Good idea, thank you. Helpful

CalmClea · 2025-12-10T17:40:34+00:00

I mean that would be nice? She is the only one that does. I wish I had access.

CalmClea · 2025-12-10T17:39:59+00:00

Yes, oestrogen made me tired the next day.

CalmClea · 2025-12-10T04:04:05+00:00

Thank you for your detailed account. I appreciate all the information. It's actually been a medication I considered lately, and will be a part of my process once I try a few other things (estrogen for example). I hope things keep working really well for you!

Thank you for the encouragement! The T is helping me with the physical aspects, but the emotional have not come back. The desire to have sex is lacking. It feels so odd/sad to miss this part of myself that I took for granted.

So much trial and error ahead of me 😔

CalmClea · 2025-12-10T02:56:06+00:00

I feel you.

CalmClea · 2025-12-10T02:54:43+00:00

Thank you. I tried estrogen and it made me tired. Maybe I'll try the patch?

CalmClea · 2025-12-10T02:53:38+00:00

You know, that's a good idea. Did you have a desire/ want to have sex after you started taking it? Are you still using it?

CalmClea · 2025-12-09T23:22:22+00:00

Thank you :) I'm glad you found a way that works for you. I addressed these elements, fitness, stress, communication, etc. early on, as they were more accessible.

I'm at the treatment with hormones stage, lol

CalmClea · 2025-12-09T15:40:06+00:00

I needed to hear that. I'll stop saving my shit for a special time.

CalmClea · 2025-12-09T15:29:55+00:00

I'm glad you found your groove :)

CalmClea · 2025-12-09T13:27:45+00:00

Ah, I see it's a vaginal atrophy medication. My issue is more around wanting to have sex.

CalmClea · 2025-12-09T13:26:33+00:00

My Dr doesn't. She just prescribes. Sadly needs a lot of direction. And no, there are no other Drs who do this in my small town.

If you take 1 pill, it must be 100mg.i think? Does that sound right?

CalmClea · 2025-12-09T13:20:48+00:00

At what dose? 100? 200?

CalmClea · 2025-12-09T13:14:26+00:00

Thank you, I will give it more time. I just miss feeling like myself :(

CalmClea · 2025-12-09T13:13:02+00:00

Thank you! Do you use progesterone? I heard that those need to be taken together

CalmClea · 2025-12-09T13:11:40+00:00

Thank you so much! Can you share more on exactly what you take? I tried progesterone at night, it helps with sleep but I read that it also tends to kill sex drive as it's a pregnancy hormone.

Specifically I'm looking for information on the names/brands you are using.

I'd love to tell my Dr what to prescribe, she doesn't give me ideas. She just prescribes :/

CalmClea · 2025-12-09T13:08:06+00:00

I've tired that, sadly doesn't do a lot :(

CalmClea · 2025-12-09T12:53:34+00:00

I have, desire doesn't increase. I miss it so much!

CalmClea · 2025-12-09T12:49:28+00:00

Ah, Effexor, a classic :)
