IVF, depression, and no sex- not good

I'll try to keep this brief and to the point. My wife and I were married a little over a year ago. We've been having trouble conceiving. It looks like something with her hormones are the problem. We've done several rounds of IUI, and two rounds of IVF, no success. She has been pretty depressed over this, and rightfully so.

The problem is, since we started getting fertility help, her sex drive is virtually zero. It just doesn't happen anymore. She isn't even all that receptive to anything more than a hug. She makes no effort to be affectionate at all. She says she loves me, but that's about it. No sign of desire towards me whatsoever. If I didn't occasionally hug her or give her a peck, there would be no affection in our marriage, which is just over a year old. The only exception is that when she is leaving for work, she'll give me a quick peck. This has always been the routine.

I know the conceiving thing hasn't been easy on either of us, but its like she isn't attracted to me at all anymore. Anybody else have this problem? She has even admitted that she isn't doing her "wifely duty" (her words), but hasn't made an effort to rectify the problem. She has even been able to perceive when I'm feeling blue about this, without me outwardly saying it, but again, does nothing to try to resolve this.

Any thoughts? :confused:
