[quote=Anonymous]I'm in menopause (52) and I used to totally stress out (when I was 42 etc) because my DH has a fantasy of getting me pregnant. It was just a fantasy; we were done with kids, but all I could think about was every day was me getting farther away from being fertile, which I equated with sexy.

Finally I told my DH how this little fantasy was freaking me out, and why, and said, "look, when I'm 80 years old with white hair, are you still going to be going on about getting me pregnant?" and he said, "Yes!  Of course I will!"

Then I was irritated that I had wasted a few years worried about this.  I do think if you have that spark, and then the key is to nurture it via being kind and sweet to your DH, they don't see the wrinkles.

I have also talked with him about how getting in the mood is harder for me and fessed up to menopause, because he thought it was me not being attracted to him.

To the PP with the uncomfortablity re intercourse, there is an estrogen creme that makes a huge difference.  I haven't done any HRT or anything, but this cream (estrodial) is not linked to any cancer or anything; I made sure!

Also...at the risk of starting a DCUM topic, I'll say those two magic words...coconut oil [/quote]
