I have been on hrt for 8 months and I figured it would have done something before now but I have recently had a sudden and unexpected drop in libido and I am finding it really distressing and hard to deal with, I have always been shall we say a high drive person but now its nothing other than wishing I had that because it was fun in the past but I am basically getting no enjoyment out of anything more than cuddling and I have absolutely no idea what to do because everything was going absolutely amazing until just recently but suddenly I have absolutely no drive to do it and don’t really enjoy it when I do try

I feel bad for my partner even though they insist it is fine but also I just really strongly dislike the lack of drive for and enjoyment from it

Does this get better/ will I adjust to it or is there a way to fix it

I am currently only on estradiol enanthate injections once per week every week and have been consistently for 8-9 months and this is a sudden change within the past maybe 2 weeks

Kinda rant ish but I am literally crying writing it so I’m not getting better out rn

    ohhh, ic maybe it’s the dosage? Have you been able to get blood tests to see how high/low your estrogen/androgen levels are ? Nevertheless ive heard a lot of trans ppl with this same problem so jt could also be a temporary situation that’ll resolve on it’s own. Idk tho, never been able to get hrt wishing you the best of luck ^^

      I have been trying to get blood testing but it has been a struggle to first get the money saved and now find a way I can get the tests preferably without being outed as trans

      I really need to avoid it until December at the very least but given how the government is going it may be a problem given my state Is one of the worst in the united states for trans people

          It is but I am in one of the states that invented the “bathroom bill” and I have a neonazi group based less than 5 minutes from my house

              Still not as bad as Florida or some places in Texas but it is nowhere near somewhere I would actually like to be when it comes to the political climate
