The Mirena has hormones, just a lower dose of it. I had two Mirenas and now a Kyleena and I strongly suspect that the Mirena killed my libido for large chunks of time.
The Mirena has hormones, just a lower dose of it. I had two Mirenas and now a Kyleena and I strongly suspect that the Mirena killed my libido for large chunks of time.Hey alljust had a little mooch through this thread and wondered if anyone had any experience with the following… (I’ll give some backstory first)
My boyfriend of 4 years and I have sex every 3-6 months generally. Neither of us have a very big sex drive but I also fully understand if you don’t use it you lose it! We both say we’ll both make more effort but then we don’t, because we don’t want to🫣 which is fine because we’re both happy with it. I think we say we’ll make more effort because society tells us we should have sex more often. I work away 3-4 nights a week and he does shifts. Both totally loyal and not venturing anywhere else, I trust him wholeheartedly. I totally fancy the pants off him but still just have no desire to have sex that often. David beckham could lay on my bed naked and I’d still want to go to sleep haha.
So now for the ‘experience’ side… I have the mirena coil fitted and I’m curious if this can be a libido killer. Has anyone else had this side effect? It’s actually due out in a couple weeks and I’m looking forward to see how my body changes and reacts to having no hormones pumped in me anymore.
Thanks if you got this far!
You could scrap contraception and rely on just having sex at the opposite times to when you're fertile?Hey alljust had a little mooch through this thread and wondered if anyone had any experience with the following… (I’ll give some backstory first)

Could you go through at 8 then get back up after? Or after he’s showered after work/in the morning?Hi does anyone have a partner who goes to bed early ish because they have to get up early for work? He goes to bed 8pm and I go 10/11pm. I stay up to sort the dogs, do a bit of housework etc.
I’m finding it’s affecting our sex life.
We could do it when I go to bed. He has said he’s happy to be woken up for sex but I don’t want sex with a sleepy, bed breath husband who wants a quickie.
Am I being a bitch?
He gets up at 4am & I don’t get home from work until 6pm. Could do it when he goes to bed but we have two boys upstairs’ usually on their Xbox’s being loud. I get paranoid they could hear or walk inCould you go through at 8 then get back up after? Or after he’s showered after work/in the morning?
I have to admit I have had sex on occasions when I did not want to , just to keep him 'happy' - I'd just feel numb after it.To look at it from the other angle. Hed rather have sex where you have verbalised you do not want to but will do it to prevent relationship breakdown than have a wank.
There is a word for having sex with someone without enthusiastic consent.
2 weeks is really not a long time
I'm sorry you are dealing with this @NellintonI have to admit I have had sex on occasions when I did not want to , just to keep him 'happy' - I'd just feel numb after it.
Can you not do it before he goes to bedHi does anyone have a partner who goes to bed early ish because they have to get up early for work? He goes to bed 8pm and I go 10/11pm. I stay up to sort the dogs, do a bit of housework etc.

Sorry I have just seen this after I postedHe gets up at 4am & I don’t get home from work until 6pm. Could do it when he goes to bed but we have two boys upstairs’ usually on their Xbox’s being loud. I get paranoid they could hear or walk in
On the weekends he’s so tired but we do try and do it on the weekend or Sunday morning. Bed breath is just such a turn off for me thoughCan you not do it before he goes to bed

Sorry I have just seen this after I posted
ahh it’s hard when you have kids isn’t it!! I wouldn’t want to do it at 4 am Jesusdoes he work 7 days a week would he stay up a bit later on day???
Could you try diff positions so youre not face to faceOn the weekends he’s so tired but we do try and do it on the weekend or Sunday morning. Bed breath is just such a turn off for me though
Haha didn’t think of that. I like kissing thoughCould you try diff positions so youre not face to faceI am sorry in advance for even saying this hahahaha
Keep a wee packet of mints in the bedside cabinet or mouthwash or something and do it when you go up to bedHaha didn’t think of that. I like kissing though
Remember those little minty dissolve papers they used to make. Need some of those hahahaKeep a wee packet of mints in the bedside cabinet or mouthwash or something and do it when you go up to bed
Shove a mint in his mouthHaha didn’t think of that. I like kissing though
Do they not make them any more?Remember those little minty dissolve papers they used to make. Need some of those hahaha
I’m fairness if he says he’s happy to be woken up but op doesn’t want that, before he leaves nor when he gets into bed or when the kids are up, it doesn’t really leave much time, if I’m reading it right.Surely if he wants sex he can make time for it? Speaking from a guys perspective, he needs to make more effort imo.
