Tim,

I’m not sure this applies here, but I’ll throw it in anyway. If you’ll remember, W and I went for something over 28 years with little or no sex. Then two years ago this May, W had a complete hysterectomy which included both ovaries. In fact, recurring ovarian cysts were one of the big reasons for the H. In any case, W was put on HRT while still in surgery. I don’t know what she was/is taking, but she had some problems with the original med and the doctor changed to something else within a month of the H.

Somewhere around the end of July, our SL took off. We went from maybe twice a year to once a week. It was still less than I would have liked, but it was such a drastic improvement over the previous 28½ years that I felt bad complaining. I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what caused the sudden jump in activity, but really couldn’t come up with anything. I finally came to the conclusion that W had had undiagnosed hormone problems all of her life and that the HRT made this the first time in her life that she had had any kind of normal hormone balance. She still didn’t appear to enjoy the sex, but at least she was doing it. I was thanking my lucky stars and hoping that as it became a normal and regular part of our R, she might learn to actually enjoy it. But, alas, that wasn’t to be. It lasted about a year. Late last summer it stopped just as quickly as it had started. And again, with no apparent explanation. No change in my behavior (that I’m aware of), no change in meds, no nothing.

Here’s hoping the hormones work better for you/her. And sorry to see you back.
