What is wrong with me and how do I fix it 😩 (sorry for posting here but keep posting this everywhere and not getting any replies and this is the only group where loads of people respond)

So ever since the first trimester I just haven’t been wanting sex at all- im 2 years post partum. I went through a horny stage in the second trimester but that didn’t last very long and for the past two years as well I’m just not fussed at all. I could go weeks if not months without sex, I’m not bothered. Obviously we do have sex every week but I never initiate it and I don’t particularly enjoy it when we do do it, I’m just there sort of forcing myself to do it. Does this mean I don’t love my partner anymore?? (I feel like I do and I am attracted to him and everything so it makes no sense). I’m so worried about it and so is he. I used to be a sex addict, I’d literally always be wanting it, even when I was single I always had sex with people on a regular basis because I loved it so much. I just can’t keep blaming it on post partum and I don’t have any more excuses for why I don’t want it but I just don’t. Nothing turns me on now, not even the things that used to before, I don’t even like my nipples being touched like I used to- still breastfeed but only mornings and evenings and not for very long so idk if that has something to do with that.

Have you got bloods done?

Do you own a vibrator?

Do you orgasm every time you have sex?

Breastfeeding hormones probably do play a part. Even if only breastfeeding twice a day, you still have prolactin

You don't need to force yourself to have sex if you aren't feeling it. You don't owe anyone your body.

Takes 2 years for hormones to go back to normal after having a baby so absolutely could still be pp causing it

I was exactly the same, to the point it felt weird when we had sex again as it had been MONTHS. It does come back, now I'm pregnant again I haven't wanted it but I've told my husband its not off the cards. It doesnt mean you love him any less. If you have opportunity to go away for a night or even just a date then definitely do, it helps so much.
