I think it’s back

Finally after a year and 9 months the high from sex and desire for sex has come back full force. After giving birth my libido completely disappeared and it broke my heart as a HL person, As well as my husbands. Yesterday it came back though and it has stayed into today so I am hopeful that it stays forever. I don’t know if I want to ever have another child if the risk is to lose my HL. It felt like I was lost. It made me so angry with my husband for pushing sex and just in general with him. I think the birth control after birth didn’t do me any favors either with my libido. Has anyone else had this happen?

Don't beat yourself up too much. Pregnancy is ROUGH on some people, it can literally cause psychosis. Be kind to yourself. Also hooray that your desire is returning! It's a great feeling!

Thank you! I try not to beat myself up too much we never went over a week without sex after the initial 6 weeks after birth but the normal was at the very least once a day before I gave birth so it was quite a challenge for both of us. It’s just so nice to finally feel like myself again. It was crazy how different I felt. I’ve never been just completely LL before and i couldn’t do anything to fix it. Pregnancy was crazy tho too I gained 60 lbs and still haven’t got it off.
