I'm having a similar situation with my bf. I had my first baby 3 1/2 months ago and I got the Mirena inserted 4 weeks after giving birth. I haven't had a sex drive at all and I'm so concerned with how it's affected my relationship. As for me I can say that the lack of affection is because affection (kissing, hugging, holding each other) usually leads to sex and since there is no desire then it's totally avoided. I'm very frustrated and disappointed that I feel this way and it's a constant argument with my partner, he tries and for the most part is undertanding but it gets frustrating for both of us. I am also breastfeeding which they say can affect your libido so I'm so confused about where my desire went and what has caused it. I have considered getting my hormone levels checked but I feel like my doctor will just try to discourage me from removing the iud if all looks well. I really want to reconnect with my partner and am
Eager for something to change. In my situation I may as equally sexually frustrated.
