Hi.
I am still breastfeeding my 29 month old on demand. I am getting really worried and have booked in for some blood tests for 2 weeks time but I am hoping someone has been through the same and can help reassure me.
I am experiencing hot flashes and mild night sweats, my periods returned when my daughter was around 9 months old. I have exclusively breastfed this whole time and she still feeds quite a lot.
My periods are regular but mood changes are extreme around period an ovulation. I get ovulation pain in my left ovary, I have frequent almost daily hot flashes and these have been happening along with night sweats for while now. No particular pattern.
Does extended breastfeeding cause these issues? Are my hormones just all out of wack or is this something else.
Other than this and feeling pretty tired at a solo mummy I am just looking for some mental support really.
Thank you xxx
