Need to think about the ladies here too!
Gentleman...all this talk about not getting enough, lower libidos etc. as we age and yes, men HAVE to do something about it should our testosterone levels become too low....but..the flip side of the coin is that females can also have problems with low T.
Case in point....I've been married almost 11 years. Initially, we both couldn't get enough...once, twice, sometimes three times a day. Then we had three little girls over the course of about 6 years and obviously it becomes more difficult to find the time. During this time, my wife used the pill off and on and also did after our last child was born. Her interest in sex significantly decreased after the birth of our last child. It really ticked me off as I had begun HRT and had the drive of a 16 year old kid which created "friction".
So I suggested she have her hormones checked. My wife went to the doc and had a full blood panel run...and guess what...her tests came back with not only low testosterone, but ZERO testosterone...nada, nothing...which explained why she had no real desire other than "accomodation".
Since I've been on HRT over a year and a half now, the last sperm count was a goose egg so my wife is no longer on the pill. Getting off the pill, coupled with a compounded testosterone cream she applies daily, has resulted in higher T levels commensurate with that of healthy normal ranges. This has interpreted into more libido, more desire, and a bigger smile on both of our faces.
So...don't forget the flip side of the coin...if your female significant other appears to have changed over the years, there could be a physiological explanation...so keep an eye out for it, and get it tested.
