I would find another dr. and ask about one of the many progesterone creams that are available. They are low-concentration, over-the-counter (I have friends who buy theirs online) and you can massage just a little bit into your pubic area, stomach OR your breasts to be absorbed. It's helped many women I know who are trying to increase drive, even out PMS or even perimenopause symptoms but don't want to go on medication. It's a good in-between choice to try.

You can also get at-home hormone testing kits! This link might help. He is a reputable dr. who wrote THE book on pre-menopause and what women can do to take charge of their hormones as they cycle through these phases of life. (I assume you are not going through pre-menopause officially, BUT the advice for hormonal imbalance is the same!) link

Sorry if you've already brought this up before, but are you taking antidepressants? They are well documented libido-killers.
In regards to what LikeSunshineDust said, are you taking any medications at all that could screw up your sex drive?

Well this was necroed, lol. But nope, not on any meds. I have a little drive back, but nothing like i once had. I still have trouble dealing with it, and it still bothers me, but doctors won't do anything and all i can do is sit here and wait it out and see if anything changes with age now.

Sigh..Doctors suck sometimes. They aren't always right, either. Can you get anything by mail or online ordering that you don't need a prescription for?

Can your doctor refuse blood test? I didn't think they can. You have the right to know your body?

um, depending on what state you're in, you can get medical marijuana for low lubido. It can work wonders! It makes you a little bit looser, and less worried bout your appearance, the sounds, etc. Also lets you relax and have fun, with no pressure on yourself or your partner. I say give anything a try if you want to keep a relationship!
