Breastfeeding...suddenly i have increased libido?

Question

Ive been breastfeeding for about 61/2 months now and s*x drive was good, normal i guess you could say this entire time. now, all of a sudden, my sexdrive has gone thru the roof!! i cant help but wonder why? its getting so bad i just sit watching the clock, waiting for hubby to get home!! I still havent gotten my period back yet so maybe this just means good ole aunt flow will be returning soon! anyone else experience anything simular to this?? not that im complaining of course ;)

Answer 1

How old are you?

I've been going through the same thing.  I don't know if it's just my hormones getting back to normal, or the fact that I'm sneaking up on thirty years old, and hitting that rumored "sexual peak".

Either way, enjoy it while it lasts.  I'm sure your husband isn't complaining!

Answer 2

It could be that you're getting ready to ovulate.  The body has an amazing way of tuning us in to when we're most fertile.  Although you're breastfeeding, your AF could return any minute.  I exclusively nursed for 6 months and my flow came back at 3 months!
