Sex drive and trying to conceive? Help!
By happy2bme 3 Years, 8 Months Ago
Sorry, I know this is long, but I am desperate for help!
My husband and I are trying to conceive a second child. It only took 2 months the first time I got pregnant in 2005, which ended in a miscarriage. Then, it only took 3 months after that and I was pregnant with our son. Well, this time it is just not happening! I have been off my pills since July of last year. We really didn't start trying as far as timing sex and everything until December or January. I had a + test in March, and then started my period 3 days later. Now that has been almost 6 months ago. I have been to the doctor, and he suggested possible endometriosis, because of some pain and cramps I have been having with my periods since about the first of the year, but that has gotton extremely better in the past 2 or 3 months, and I really don't feel like that is the problem. I am using the ovulation predictor kit and it shows I am ovulating, and we are trying all around that time, but it's still not happening. I am beginning to wonder if it is my husband. He has been through the stress of loosing both of his parents in the past year, and he was close to his dad. He just turned 31, and his sex drive has really decreased in the last several months, I know since his dad passed away. He has always been low on affection, and I blame it on his mom, who left him when he was 15 months old to be raised by his dad and grandmother. He was never hugged and shown alot of affection growing up. But now, he won't show me hardly any affection at all, the only kiss I get is a peck on the lips before he leaves for work and at night when we go to bed, and there is no desire on his part for anything else. He did start on Zoloft a few weeks ago, and he said he was going to stop it because he thought it was causing him to have no desire whatsoever. But even before the medicine, the only time he would get the urge was after we had gone a long time without it, which usually winds up being the first day that we are trying around my ovulation day, and then the next couple of nights he is doing all he can to have sex to try to get me pregnant, but it's like he doesn't even really want to do it. I have a wonderful husband, and I know he loves me, but he is just having a hard time with this right now. I wonder, too, if this is lowering his sperm count or something, if it's just barely getting done. Does that make any sense?

I'm so sorry you are having such a hard time. I've had a lot of experience with various medications for depression and sexual desire. Feel free to pm me if you want to discuss this more. Hopefully I can help
