I'm 56 now, and hit peri-menopause around 48/49. My periods finally petered out about 3 years ago. I've suffered with all the usual menopause symptoms, hot flushes/night sweats, thinning hair, weight gain, but they are easing off now, and I'm managing to cope. I've not had any problems with vaginal dryness, or pain, but sadly I've had a complete loss of libido. I have a very good, close relationship with husband, but sadly my libido has completely disappeared, absolutely no desire whatsoever! He still very much wants that side of our relationship to continue, and so do I, in my head, but my body, sadly, has other ideas. I feel so sad that it has come to this, and I don't want to miss out on the close intimacy that we've always had. I can't take HRT as my mother had breast cancer. Are there any options out there for women who can't take HRT, or do we just have to put up with lot?
