I have a 10 month old who I exclusively breastfeed and a couple of weeks ago I had my first period since he was born.
The period itself was ok - I had a bit of a tearful day before which made sense when I came on. But I’m now coming up to ovulating and oh my word my hormones are all over the place. I’m so angry, sad, self-critical, nauseous, irritable etc etc. I just want to curl up in my bed and hide away from the world - I genuinely don’t know what to do with myself.
Has anyone else experienced this with their first cycle after giving birth. It’s been lovely not having to deal with periods for 18 months!!
