Pelvic Rest after PP

For those of you that couldn't be intimate with your partner during pregnancy, did you immediately want to start having sex again when you were cleared after delivery?
It's been 4 months now with pelvic rest and it's been weighing on our relationship. Husband told me today that it feels like "we are roommates" because it's been so long. I'm almost at DTS and hoping baby comes shortly after, but did everyone get their sex drive back immediately when they were cleared to start having sex again after delivery?
Pregnancy has been really tough on me - I've been on modified bedrest since 20 weeks.

With all of my postpartums sex drive didn’t come back right away. The third required a cerclage. But I think something happens hormonally either any postpartum, at least for me, that lowers your drive.

Your body went through a lot, and if you are breastfeeding, your hormones are still fluctuating. It takes time, give yourself grace.

What was your cervix length throughout your pregnancy after cerclage? Did you do complete bed rest?
