Hormone Replacement Centers

I haven't ever gone to a center but I do use Arbonne's natural balancing cream. It has helped me with so many issues that I didn't know were issues. I started using it due to Migraine Headaches which stopped right away and never came back, I was having trouble sleeping and it helped with that also. I can email more infor if you would like. I am PMing you my email address.

Hi

There is a doctor named, Dr. Vliet who specializes in dealing with women's hormones (check her out on the net) one of her practices is located in Dallas Ft. Worth.. (sorry, not sure how far that is from San Antonio) However, if you look her up or check out one of her books, you might find the trip is well worth it.. She looks at so many different factors that other doctors do not.. I am currently reading one of her books called, Screaming to be Heard... essentially about hormones and how they affect women .. Moreover, how the medical establishment doesn't always pay attention to we as women.. So far , the book is very interesting and I am learning a great deal from it. As mentioned , check her out. She sees many women who are feeling as you do..

I wish you all the best

Any chance you got your tubes tied with your son? Blood hormone levels stay the same... but sudden loss of sex drive (until menopause or reversal) is a common side effect (along with mood swings, personality shift, lubrication issues, smell issues, irritability, pain sensitivity, etc.). It's still being studied as to why that's 'possible', although from last I read the anectdotal has finally shifted to a strong correlation was already shown (these studies are ongoing).

The 3 biggest libido killers are (in order)
- tiredness
- hormones
- depression

If your hormone levels are good (and you didn't have a tubal)... how about the other 2?

A less common cause is smell. It's something patients with certain kinds of cancer have to cope with when they lose their sense of smell, and it's a common "speed bump" in many relationships/ marriages. Our brain ties certain emotional and physiological responses to smell. If your spouse usually wears a certain cologne (or deodorant/ aftershave/ etc.), and stops or switches... or even if you just start washing everything in different detergent... it can mess with your brain 'recognizing' the vavoom in your husband. Your MIND knows it's him, but your brain is lacking a road sign. A lot of people change EVERYTHING when a baby is born (stop buying the expensive cologne, switch to unscented everything, etc.). This is a quick and easy fix if y'all changed things up a few years back. It's a harder fix if something hormonally has shifted in HIM (changing his smell), or if you guys radically changed your diets, or if he has any health problems (like tooth decay, halitosis, etc.) that changed his smell.

Anyhow... just a few thoughts/ avenues to explore.

I just had to engage my head. I started to fantasize about where, how, when, etc. and it really helps. My head usually has us in a romantic place or a "sneaky" place and it really helps. Planning ahead and thinking about it during the day also helps get the engines going. Never tell your husband that you aren't into it; that only makes it worse for you and him as well. If you've tried all of this and it doesn't help, then I'd try everything and anything.

I'm curious to see the answers you get. If you go to HRC, I'd be interested in your opinion. I see it advertised on TV all the time, worse yet, my husband does too. I've been "nudged" to call them. I'm seeing my GYN this month and that's one of the questions we'll be discussing.

Please share what you find out. I'd appreciate it.

I have the same problem. Not found anything that works yet.
