I've just finished breast feeding after 3.5 years.
Despite having my periods back since DC was 8 months old, I'm going through hell with hormones since I've stopped breast feeding.
I've got spots, despite washing daily. On my back and other places. I've got such bad bloating that the tightness of my work trousers were unbearable the last two days. My boobs were so bloody painful. All because my period was due/arrived.
Fuck this. This sucks. I hate being swollen, spotty and in pain.
I'd forgotten that I used to get this every month. It's been 4 blissful years without it and I don't miss it.
Apart from taking that pill which gives me shitty side effects, is there anything that I can do?
The worst part is the bloating. The rest I can largely ignore.
