| Audrey, I hope others who have dealt successfully with this problem will post. I know exactly what you mean about the "light switch being turned off". And, you are right, it is a major stress in a relationship. Good luck with others offering advice. I'll be reading too. |

| I had this same problem for years. It started when I started going thru menopause and got worse when I got Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I knew it had to do with my hormones being off, but the doctor said it was mental, was I under a lot of stress, etc? Recently I started taking natural sublingual estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. It's the testosterone that gives you back your sex drive. I highly recommend it. I went to www.collegepharmacy.com and ordered mine. It's expensive, but your insurance should pay for part of it. Also, your own doctor may prescribe it. It's compounded. Hope this helps you. |

| How long did it take for natural sublingual estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone to take affect? |

| I sure hope Jan's message was not planted by someone from college pharmacy in effort to get business. Unfortunately this kind of thing happens. Just a warning ladies, don't take everything posted here as fact. Some people here plant messages to sell their products. |
