I am in the same boat as you.  My husband thinks I'm crazy.  I love it.  He would be one of the ones asking, "On average how many times do married couples do it."  I say who cares about average, man... Let's just do it. \n\n To answer your question...  They say it does.  But I'm sure everyone is different.

It is medically possible... for a woman of 33 to go through MENOPAUSE...\n\nAs with all things that concern you... \n\nSEE YOUR DOCTOR.\n\nPlease, based on these symtons... SEE HIM/HER fast... Okay?

The age is very variable. It usually happens around 50 on average.\nIt has nothing to do with having sex or not. It depends on your ovaries, if they are still producing hormones or not.\nAbout the fainting spells, I never heard anything like that!\nAlso, it seems the younger a woman has menarch (first period) the older she will have menopause.\nHope this helps!!!

i turned 34 two months ago, and i know where you're coming from.  i also had a tubal, which i thought was affecting everything from my mood, to my body fluids, and i even stated LOSING weight! (tried before, didnt happen).  maybe it's pre-menopause, at least that's what my ob/gyn tells me;  it could also be hormonal changes other than pms- my doctor told me to start exercising and take b12 supplements. hope you feel better and i hope this helps!

23 years here, I understand the issues.  (c:  Familiarity does LOWER the labido!  These young chicks do not know that yet <c;  They also do NOT know the rewards of LOOOOONG time relationships.   \nSKIP THE TOYS.  Unless your husband asks about them.  \nTo help with sex drive I  let my mind wander through out the day and remember the THRILL of "great" sex...  As in plenty of ummmm ,  lets say Fireworks *wink* for me.  I make a great dinner , give him a bit of a back rub or foot massage.  These things make me feel like a "good woman"  .  If your married 30 years then you already know that catering to your man has benefits (c:

It may just be a reaction to the hormones.  Same thing happened to a friend of mine who is on the pill.

I'm going through the same thing right now and know for a fact that I'm not pregnant, (having been sexually active in a long time), so I know that stress and exercise can cause dramatic changes in your cycle. Don't worry. Doctor's appointment is a good idea. Happened to me once before and when it started up again, it lasted two weeks, (that really sucked). It will be OK. You're probably just stressing about a test or job, etc. and don't even realize it.

I don't think that you lose your sexuality, but you lose the importance of sex.  I am 33 and married with 4 kids.  We love each other and love having sex, but that isn't the most important thing in our lives.  I think that if you are having a healthy "sex" life alone, then good for you.  It is a God given gift and there is nothing wrong with self-exploration.  God gave us minds to make decisions and give us the tools for pleasure, so why shouldn't we use it?  Alone or with a partner.  If you are worried about losing the response and having all the symptoms that can go along with menopause, then go talk to your doctor about hormone replacement therapy.  My mom had a hysterectomy when she was 29 and she has been using estrogen/progesterone lotion for about the last 10 years.  She says that she is still feeling as young and responsive as she did when she was younger.

It could be a combination of both depending on what meds you are taking, but I am 41 and I am experiencing the same things.  The night sweats are horrible (at least we don't have the hot flashes during the day yet).

My sex drive has declined slightly over the years (I'm almost 52).  I've been married to the same incredibly beautiful woman for 31 years and we still go at it like teenagers.  No, strike that, no teenager ever had sex as good as we have.\n\nI have to say that the reason is probably looking at you in the mirror every morning.  From talking to my friends, the reason most men lost interest is because their women lost interest.  Keep it up and don't be afraid to experiment.  A recent experiment with my wife and I has had unbelievable benefits.

Communicate is the best aphrodisiac, I had this problem too. wasn't very interested in sex. I just had lot's on my mind and issues. but once we were able to communicate honestly (so I thought), things got really great.   best sex ever.

It is all related to hormones and being tired from caring for the baby.  Don't worry, the sex drive will return.  If you are real concerned about it, talk to your doctor.

I am personally very wary of those birth control methods that make you have no periods for long stretches of time.  The hormones released during your monthly cycle are extremely important to keep your bones healthy and strong.  I mean just look what happens to women after menopause!  Their biggest worry is osteoporsis from not having estrogen and the other hormones associated with periods any longer.  That is why those estrogen replacement drugs are/were so popular.  I would reccommend thinking twice before using those no cycle birth control systems.  They could be causing more harm than they are worth.  I would rather deal with a monthly period now than have to worry about a hip fracture when I am 50.

I'm 44 and I bet you're going thru perimenopause because I sure am. See my PMS page and then my perimenopause page. You are not alone!!

Just like girls get their 1st periods at different ages and experience\nhormone fluxes at different times in their lives and usually no two\nwomen have the exact same symptoms at the same date and time neither will they go through perimenopause or menopause at\nthe same age. Some women start menopause in their mid or late \n40's , others do not start until they are in their 50's Also women who are in menopause do not stop having sex. That depends on alot more things then what stage she is in life. Some women are\nsexually active up until they are late in life or never stop.being sexually active. These are facts.

It is normal for a female of your age to lose her sex drive. Men and women have different their sex drives at different times. You will get your sex drive back. Until then try to have some fun before you start.
