[quote=Anonymous]I'm experiencing secondary infertility - asherman's - which is more likely than not irreversable.  Since receiving the news last September that surgery was unsuccessful we've pursued adoption but our sex life is nonexistant.  Like, we haven't had sex for 10 months.  I didn't realize until today, when I finally dragged myself in for a routine GYN exam (which I have been actively avoiding for ages), how much I just can't even talk about/think about/deal with this aspect of my body or my life.  Just having the exam and talking to the doctor about my issues put me in tears on my drive to work.  I feel like what's the point of having sex, you know? While we were TTC the focus of our sex life was on procreation.  And now that it just isn't ever going to happen, I can't for the life of me figure out how I'm going to get back to sex being something you do for fun and to connect with your spouse.  I am so lucky that my husband understands how I'm feeling, but at the same time that I feel guilty I just can't bring myself to be interested in sex or care.  It's not fair to DH and I know it.  But I feel like when we do have sex again, I will probably end up in a puddle of tears over the futility of it and gee, what fun [i]that[/i] will be.   :cry:

Has anyone else BTDT?  Advice?  ([i]Other[/i] than the knee-jerk response to go to therapy?)[/quote]
