Hi there. I'm new to the forums but have been dealing with endo for 11 years now. I, like you, have tried countless BC and am currently on the depo. I am also going to get ANOTHER laporoscopic procedure tomorrow (I've already had a few). I've been married for 4 years and am grateful to have a loving and supportive husband. I've been through the same problems and the best solution for me was to talk about it with my hubby. I explained how the medication affected me and thankfully he took it well (I've been on depo for a year now, second time around). Obviously he's been dealing with these things for 6 years (that's how long we've been together) and says that he'll love me no matter what. I've found that if I'm "not in the mood", that I can still do things for him (which makes him happy) and I don't have to worry that I'll be in pain and discomfort so that makes me happy. So that's how I've dealt with the issue of not wanting to. Find a happy medium for you two, but make sure he's happy with a solution too. I'm sure he'll be happy for alternatives too :)
