Do you get the blues when you quit breastfeeding?

I quit cold turkey about a week ago and I have been feeling a bit down...kind of sad and bursting into tears - I do have problem with DH to sort out which is on another thread, but I wondered if hormones have to do something with my mood recently as well?

Yes. Your body is used to the oxytocin (sp?) release/ hit and it's not getting it now. It's quite common. Hope you feel better soon x

I found it horrendous, like a really bad case of PMT.

It didn't last that long though, about two or three weeks.
