I'm mainly here to offer support and say I am absolutely in the same boat when it comes to intercourse. I wrote a post awhile back about this and I was feeling very hopeless and helpless, I got no responses for some reason. That's even more reason why I'm writing to you. Because I know that feeling of despair and even 1 person just understanding helps. I wish I could give you some advice, but as I've said this is a major problem for me as well. Only, not only am I in constant pain (made worse during and after intercourse) but I have NO drive whatsoever, in fact, its been that way since before the endo symptoms started. I blame the birth control pill and my doc agrees. But until it's time for me to get pregnant (which I hope will be soon), I need to stay on the pill to try and slow this endo. I will just say, that even though you have very little desire, try to find a way to get some of that back and do other things together, do things for him and if you feel like it have him do things for you. I think that has been what has saved my marriage. I try to do that for my husband as much as I can. I know it's hard, I'm a newlywed and have been having painful sex since the 2nd month of our marriage. If you ever want to talk more about this, I would love to have the support for one another...
