Sorry to hear you experienced something similar, it is so hard! </p> <p>That Cup of Jo article perfectly described how I've been feeling! The past few weeks I was even convinced I was pregnant because I could tell my hormones were out of whack and I was getting acne, etc. Now I'm just hoping AF comes soon so I can feel that rush of relief that Joanna described! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-realize-you-had-ppd#post-461201 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 22:39:13 +0000 BeachMama 461201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop - I started the weaning and depression post. I was pretty sure I had PPD from the get go, but it was written off as baby blues by my doc. Finally at around 7 weeks I was so desperate. One night I was lying on the floor in the fetal position just crying. I called my doc the next day and cried on her voicemail and finally got a prescription for Zoloft. </p> <p>Now LO is 7 months. I've cut back on nursing and pumping lately and for the first time in months I was super moody, weepy, and crying again for a few days. I'm pretty sure it was due to a change in my hormones. There not a lot of info out there on depression and weaning but the post on Cup of Joe is good and has links to a few other articles. </p> <p>Hang in there. It'll get better. And don't be afraid to call you doctor for help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-realize-you-had-ppd#post-461102 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 21:28:55 +0000 googly-eyes 461102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6-7 weeks. I haven't read the other post but was told by my OB that stopping breastfeeding (which I did around that time) could be contributing to it. (I stopped pumping gradually and knew from about three weeks I really just wanted to make it to six weeks.) I'm 3 months pp now and taking medication for it. It can definitely be PPD at 7 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-realize-you-had-ppd#post-460712 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 17:15:26 +0000 betsyboop 460712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessLC: Thank you so much for this link, going to check it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-realize-you-had-ppd#post-460638 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 16:23:43 +0000 SleepyMonkey 460638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is a post on depression related to weaning somewhere on this board. . . I remember reading it and saying to myself that this was another thing that no one tells you about having a baby.</p> <p>Found it <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-and-depression#post-394687" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-and-depression#post-394687</a></p> <p>The link to the blog explains one woman's experience with it. Maybe talk to your doc about it and hopefully he/she will be able to help you. Good luck and hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-realize-you-had-ppd#post-460612 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 16:03:37 +0000 Mrsbells 460612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont have experience with this but you should definitely call in to your hospital or doctor and they can give you better advice </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-realize-you-had-ppd#post-460565 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 15:36:36 +0000 betsyboop 460565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To the moms who had PPD, when did you start feeling blue? </p> <p>I'm wondering if I have PPD, though I am 7 months postpartum and haven't really felt down at all until recently. I thought I was in the clear when I felt fine a few months postpartum, but recently I've been feeling REALLY hopeless and down. Like really, really down, where I don't feel like talking to anyone. I'm wondering if it's the holiday blues, hormones due to weaning, or PPD? </p> <p>Anyone have any experience with late-onset PPD? </p>
