Hi - not sure if this is the right board to post on. I am EBF to 4 month old and for the last month or so have felt as though my period is about to start (but it hasn't) and hormonally I'm all over the place, switching from elated with my new life and baby to really bored, impatient, hyper-critical of husband and really low. I don't feel like it's PND as it's so on and off, it feels exactly like PMS used to feel.

Does your body still work to a monthly cycle even if you're not getting your periods yet? Could that explain why my hormones are so erratic at the mo?
Does anyone have any tips for trying to balance their hormones/system without going down the Pill/anti-depressants route - natural solutions would be much appreciated.
thanks

It can do I cartainly noticed normal cycle symptoms returning a few months before my period actually returned though dd1 was 15 months. With dd2 I am having similar symptoms though things like bloating and she is only 4 months but I am using different contraception this time. I don't have any tips tp deal with it I'm afraid though.
