My Libido is too High!

I find myself in a situation that some might see as a blessing, but it has become increasingly uncomfortable for me. At 44, my libido has surged over the past few years to a level that I find distressing. This heightened state, particularly around and during my period and ovulation, is far from enjoyable. In an attempt to address this issue, I experimented with bioidentical progesterone. I was taking 100 mg nightly for a month. While it provided some relief, the improvement was only marginal. I suspect it may have had a negative impact on my mood. I’m reaching out to inquire if anyone has faced a similar challenge and, if so, how they managed to cope with it.

Reflecting on my hormonal profile, I’ve noted that my testosterone levels are on the low end of normal, but my SHBG is also low. I’m left wondering if there might be a connection between these factors and my heightened libido. Additionally, I briefly used hormonal birth control in my 20s, which adversely affected my mood. Despite this past experience, I’m revisiting this option, considering the myriad of available formulations. I’m eager to hear from others who have navigated similar situations and learn about the strategies they employed to find relief.

This issue has taken a toll on my well-being, both physically and emotionally, and I’m genuinely concerned about finding a sustainable solution. The complexity of hormonal dynamics and the variety of available interventions leave me seeking guidance and support from those who may have walked a similar path.
