What is the reason for my low sex drive? |

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 10 years now and we are planning on getting married. We are both in our late 20s and have suffered a great deal to be with each other.
Huge obstacles have stood in our way, but we have overcome them. I love him very much and would not be able to live if he wasn’t in my life.
The issue that I have is that I have totally lost interest in sex. If I had it my way I would never ever do it. I just don't find it enjoyable anymore. My boyfriend is wonderful in bed. I could not be happier, but I just don't have any sex drive. I do suffer from hypothyroidism. Could this be the reason? I’ve been like this for 8 months now. We have also moved to a new country. Could this be a reason as well? Your help would be greatly appreciated as this is taking a huge toll on our relationship.
I am not a medical doctor, but I do know that some people with hypothyroidism do complain of a low sex drive, and so the first thing you must do is check with your doctor. Make sure that the medications you are taking aren’t part of the problem and whether a different medication might not be better for you. Also make sure that you are taking the right dosage. Some people decide that they’re better and so stop taking their medication and then a symptom like low sex drive remains.
Could the move be the problem? If you moved because he wanted you to and you now have decided that it was the wrong thing to do and you resent him for this, even subconsciously, then it could be a contributing factor. But you have to deal with the medical problem first. If you came to see me in my office, I wouldn’t be able to help you at all until you’d told me that your medical doctor had done all he or she could. So your first move should be to go to a doctor and see if your condition is at the root of this problem.
