Hi bonjoe, nice to see you.

For dex, I've included a link to our medications subforum and you might find this helpful

the meds issue can be complex and take a while to sort out. some meds seem not to change sex drive and some do, depending on the individual sometimes.

you might find it better to stop trying to have a child for a while, until the meds issue is straightened out.

If you are as you describe, not in good shape, does it seem logical that now is the right time to introduce more stress into your life? Especially considering that multiple births are not uncommon with fertility medication and that can be hugely complicating.

Fertility problems are stressful on their own never mind combining them with relationship issues for whatever reasons.

Just a thought. :-)
