Hi girls. I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Since I stopped br___tfeeding I have had constant PMS symptoms when I'm not PMSing. I get cramps, that yucky feeling in my stomach and pretty severe mood swings. I usually get these symptoms about 3-4 days before my period. So I thought maybe I was having a really, really, short cycle and waited it out. Nope, no period. My hormones are definitely going wacky, but shouldn't they be calming down since the br___tfeeding hormones are leaving my system? When can I expect to be back to my old self?

Oh yeah! That makes sense though. Cuz b___stfeeding is supposed to give you positive hormones, and postpartum is supposed to give you c___ppy hormones... so it's all the good hormones that are leaving my system haha. Man that sucks... I hope the people around me can stand me until it goes away :P

Yeah most likely they won't be able to. The women who have had babies won't remember that, and the men won't have a clue. They'll think you're still trying to milk the pregnancy benefits. LOL! But don't worry, it gets progressively better, and like every other girl problem, you learn how to keep it in check

I'll work on it. No one has really said anything but I feel like I'm being a major b___h all the time. I'll say something and then think "Wow that was completely rude an insensitive." Then I'll apologize and they'll be like "For what?" Then I'll start crying haha. It's really ridiculous. I thought maybe my postpartum hormones were dying down since my s_x drive is finally, slowly stabling itself out. I guess not haha.
