Over the past year, I (F51) have seen a dramatic boost to my libido which I believe to be at least somewhat due to hormonal changes. It is so intense that at certain times (particularly around ovulation) it can be almost painful. Despite this, I feel it has improved my life immeasurably - my relationship with my husband (M57), and with others, and just generally feeling more alive. This has led me to start to worry that further hormonal changes may take this away from me. Have any other women experienced this, and how did things change as time went on? Can I maintain this wonderful phase? In case relevant I am still menstruating but only every approx 40 days.
