My last baby is 12 months, we stopped BF just before 7 months, and it took another few months for my periods to return. I have started to experience some problems, which i have pinned down to the post ov period of time, in that basically i seem to just plummet mentally. I dont want to see anyone, do anything, i am very teary and emotional, suspicious and paranoid of people. I hate it, because i sit here questioning myself on everything. Then my period comes and its like everything resets and im fine. Til ov... When i was breatfeeding my son fed a lot, and i loved the whole experience. Even when i had been feeding him four times i night i didnt care, i could feel the oxytocin rush each time and life was just a happy little bubble. After feeding stopped i tried the pill (low dose) and it slayed me, i was huge and bloated, really badly moody, and so so unhappy. Stopped after six weeks and felt a little better, still hadnt had a period. So right now my situation is that im on no contraception (dh has been snipped!), and i feel at the mercy of my natural cycle.
I feel my body is experiecing some extreme changes to the loss of progesterone, and is doing the same after each ovulation. Does anyone have any experience of this, and if so what did you do?
