what happened to your hormones after you stopped breastfeeding?

[jellycatqueen]

I'm currently thinking of weaning my dd off me, but since bf'ing my hormones have been great, and I am worried when I stop they will be awful. just wondered what most peoples experiences are with this?

I was unreasonable and moody for about 2 weeks. Husband said it was like my pregnancy except, from my point of view - I thought i was completely reasonable and normal during pregnancy. But when I stopped breastfeeding I knew I was being unreasonable I just couldn't help being annoyed and irritable.

did they return to how they were pre birth?

More or less. I'm a couple of kilos heavier and 2 years older than before pregnancy so some sagging is probably down to that. I still think my boobs look ok, though.

haha sorry I did mean your hormones :o
I think mine have sagged :(

Hee... Sorry. Difficult to say - last time I had normal hormones - pre-pregnancy - was oct 2009. I finished breastfeeding in september last year so not sure I can actually remember what 'normal hormones' are like. I feel normal, that's the best I can do.
