No one had told me about this side of weaning, so I'm glad to hear I'm not crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hormone-changes-while-weaning#post-745439 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 02:59:06 +0000 Andrea 745439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt so much anxiety and depression. I didn't know that it was normal until I Googled it. Going back on the pill saved me! I guess I needed those hormones? I don't know but I felt like a different person 1.5 weeks after starting the pill again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hormone-changes-while-weaning#post-745419 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 01:11:14 +0000 red_seattle 745419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely. I can relate to all that.</p> <p>About a month ago, a physician spoke to my mom's group about women's health, and said after weaning, it takes 5-7 MONTHS before hormones are back to normal. Given how things have been since weaning started, I'd say that's about right. </p> <p>ETA: NOT to say that I've been a hormonal mess since then. It's just that things haven't been quite as predictable, but my cycles and symptoms are slowly getting back to the way they were. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hormone-changes-while-weaning#post-745389 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 23:48:01 +0000 jackieomy 745389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO weaned over a two month period, and I thought I was going crazy. Super emotional (depressed and anxious), acne returned, felt crampy, bloated and got AF. Now, a month and a half later, I'm feeling more normal (but still a bit down). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hormone-changes-while-weaning#post-745325 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 22:38:39 +0000 Weagle 745325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please tell me your experiences with this. LO quickly started to slowly wean (that does make sense in my head), and I think my hormones are going crazy. My skin is like a 14 year old's, AF has been threatening a return for months and now all of those symptoms are gone, and I'm super moody. Is this normal? </p>
