My daughter was born Febuary 8th. I've breastfed for 8 mths now. I have zero sex drive. I have zero energy. I take a multivitamin and eat healthy. Help!

You may not have any libido because your body knows you're still caring for a young child!

I feel for you 100%. I had my son in March and for months I felt awful. I was so tired and felt miserable all the time. I went to my doc in August, because I couldn't get out of my own way. It was way more than just a lack of sleep because of a baby. She tested my Thyroid and found that it wasn't working properly. My TSH was 194 which I guess is really high. She thought that the stress of being pregnant may have been the cause. I started on a generic Synthroid and though I'm still not back to my normal level of energy it's getting better.

Good luck!

Eiri & Mommy35
Eiri- I figured that was it but I have a friend who breastfed and she said it wasn't as big of a problem for her. It's extreme. I don't want to have sex at all! If someone was to tell me right now that I wouldn't ever again, Id be completely ok with it. lol. I laugh but I'm serious!

Mommy35 - Glad to know it's not just me. I will check out the thyroid problem when I get some health insurance Sad . I felt exhausted all through my pregnancy too. It just sucks because its hard for my husband to understand how serious I am when I'm complaining about being so tired all the time.

Thanks for the replies!

Well, just because your friend was fine doesn't mean you will be lol! Every woman reacts differently. I'd get checked out for sure.

It's normal. I lost my sex drive the second month of being pregnant with my first child. I was 30. I finally got some sex drive back after 10 years. During those 10 years, I let my dh have me about couple times a month. I could do w/o even those times. Now, I start my perimenapause, somehow I want sex now before I completely lose the ability. But my want is still only 3 times a month, anymore than that is a burden. At least there is a desire for me now.
