Hi all, after extensive Google searching and coming up with no reputable information on breastfeeding and how it may affect you mentally especially when periods return I’m looking for advice.
I am 1 year PP and I combination feed my baby. My period returned when my baby was 7 months however I am due on tomorrow and I have an extremely low mood. I feel on edge, verge or tears, irritable , and very low. The last few days I’ve been leading up feeling a bit rubbish slightly irritated but today has been really bad. It’s worth mentioning my milk supply does take a dip when I’m on my time of the month so I’m aware hormones be shifting.
Prior to baby I was on no hormones and I had very regular cycles with only a little bit of irritation when I was on time of the month I would say.
I guess I’m looking to see if this is normal and if anyone has any recommendations of supplements or anything I can do to help my low mood I’m really finding it difficult to shake it off.
