Can I deal with PPD without medicine?

[Shana]

I hope I can get a little insight, please? I am new here, and have a 6 month old daughter, a firstborn. Since her arrival, I think I have had the normal ups and downs with my emotions. The problem is, the thought of doing anything sexual with my spouse is a burden. At first, I attributed it to lack of sleep and dealing with an infant. Now that she is sleeping better in the night and we have fallen into a routine, I still want no parts of sex. Prior to, and during my pregnancy my husband was very attractive to me. Now, I have to force myself to want to do it, and even with a rare time alone, I still don't want it. I am able to enjoy it once we get started, but it is the "getting started" that is hard.
This is causing conflict, as we both were very sexual people, and now only one of us is. I did not want to try medication but do you think that is the best route? I thought I would be better by now. I just can't understand why sex and my husband are no longer what I want.
