Question:Does breastfeeding effect your sex drive?

I am nursing my six month old baby girl and have found that my sex drive is next to nothing! My husband and I want to improve our love life. I tend to feel guilty alot!! I know I won't breastfeed forever but I want to start this journey of change towards a closer more intimate love life now...I know I should want to have sex...I am still deeply attracted to my husband but I just can't find that "sexual place" in my brain anymore...HELP?
