Hypersexuality is a symptom of bipolar. Also, when a woman ovulates her libido naturally rises as nature's way of keeping the species going. Are you sure you are experiencing hypersexuality, or could it be a higher libido for the few days surrounding ovulation?

Possibly you are experiencing both.

I have had bipolar symptoms as long as I can remember and with the exception of after separating from my first husband, I can't remember ever feeling hypersexual. I never acted on the impulses, but I think they came from a feeling of "I'm freeeeee!" I wouldn't have known it as a symptom anyway, because I was undiagnosed.
