I am a 20 year old mother of ONE and a wife. Since I have had my son I have had a very low sex drive. My husband was in Iraq for 12 months but has been home for almost 5 months. Is there anything I can do about this? I am all up for it when I get in the mood it is just hard to get me in the mood. Dr gave me WELLBUTRIN but I am afraid to take it.

I'd say just put yourself in a situation where you feel really relaxed (i.e. soft, relaxing music; dim lights/candles) and just want to cuddle with your guy. Make yourself feel sexy as well.

I'm looking for answers here too. I'm 30, 2 kids (4 & 2 yrs), and wife. I lost my drive after my first birth and ob/gyn isn't concerned. Shouldn't we be in our prime right now? I've read on walgreens.com (here's the link... http://www.walgreens.com/library/contents.jsp?doctype=1&docid=001952 ) about testosterone levels being low causing lack of desire. "Testosterone is the hormone that creates sexual desire in both men and women. Testosterone levels may be checked, especially in men who have ISD. Blood for such tests should be drawn before 10:00 a.m., when male hormone levels are at their highest." I plan on asking my ob/gyn in a couple weeks to check mine. I have no reason to be like this... I have never been assaulted or raped... nothing of the sort. I do not like being this way ,and I know it's not fair to my husband. Check out the site and see if it helps in any way. I know how you feel. Why does this happen after giving birth? My husband jokes with me that I only want sex when I want another baby. I hope my ob/gyn helps me figure this out. I will try to post again after my appt on the 18th to let you know if he does aything for me this time.

When you take on the responsibility of being a mother, your body changes. That includes your hormones. Wellbutrin is a anti-depressant and might keep your sex drive low but make you feel better and help you cope with stress beter. I take Wellbutrin and Prozac. I am never hardly in the mood, im talking maybe once a month and I'm only 23. I know it kills my husband so i try to give him oral sex or jack him off. He thinks i don't find him attractive anymore and that is not true. It is just very hard for me to deal with all the stresses at work, then school, then home and im always so tired out by the time he rolls around. He and i have sex, but we have to use a lot of lube cause i can't stay wet. Any way, Being a mother can take a lot of energy out of you especially if you spend a lot of time with your children. On top of taking care of your kids you have otther stressors that wear on you. Talk to your doctor about your low sex drive.
