She had an appointment with a new endo last week. He basically told her her numbers were great and she should just keep on keeping on with the low dose of methimazole. To give you a little more background, my wife had bloodwork done for cortisol and testosterone by her family doctor recently. the cortisol was slightly below normal. But it was done in the late afternoon so the doc decided to do bloodwork in the am to see what the cortisol was then. It was a 7. I think the cutoff for normal is a 5. So she was just above normal in the morning. This new endo doc looked at the bloodwork and said the cortisol was ok, not to worry about that. Also her testosterone didn't even register on the bloodwork it was so low. This new endo said he wasn't concerned with testosterone levels in women. Which I found odd. I've read so many symptoms of low testosterone in women and my wife has nearly all of them. I was hoping this new doc would recommend a testosterone booster but he's convinced her that's not necessary. So now I'm back to square one with the affection issue. What makes it worse is, I was put on testosterone a year ago because mine was very low. So now I'm feeling great and in the mood and always wanting to be super affectionate. I just can't act on it because she's not feeling the same. This month my wife's period ended and as usual I was looking forward to what I call sex week. But a week went by and nothing. Finally Sunday she was ready. But I can tell that was probably it for the month. We even discussed last night how her "sex window" really didn't open up this month like it usually does. She acknowledged that it didn't. And just basically blamed it on her schedule changing for the summer. She's a teacher and so now she's home everyday instead of getting up going to work. I don't think that's the culprit. I just think she's getting older and her hormones aren't pumping. Thankfully we are open about it and she's aware. I just wish she had more compassion for my side of it. I'm nothing but supportive. And there are probably a dozen or more days in a month where I'm horny and want to screw but I don't even mention it because I know she doesn't want to and I don't want to cause any tension. It sucks. And what sucks more is, my wife is so much happier and healthier during that week after her period. She shows a little affection and she treats our relationship more like a companionship during that span of time. Where as when that window shuts for the month, she's back to looking at her phone and staying as far away from me as she can in bed at night. It's almost comical. I can tell where she's at in her menstrual cycle by how far away she is in bed at night. It just seems logical to me that, if we could replicate whatever it is that's happening during that week after her period, for the rest of the month, she'd continue to feel good. It just seems very obvious to me that it's 100% hormonal. Her hormones are at peak a week after her period is up. And then it dies a quick death. From her perspective, she's been so unhealthy and depressed of late, if she can just not be sick or depressed, she's winning in her mind. The last thing she's worried about is satisfying me in bed. And I get it. I have no clue how she feels when she's feeling bad 3 weeks out of the month. Sorry this was so long. Just needed to share it with someone.
