Low Estrogen and BF: Sweating, etc?

[Lollicup]

Hi, my LO is 9.5 months old! I started solids at 6 months when my LO was ready. I have been feeling really awful lately, which I noticed after starting my LO on solids at about 6 months. I know it takes a while before hormones get back to normal, but this sucks! : I have recently had all thyroid tested and everything came back as "normal", but since I have been cycling since 7 weeks PP, I am still ovulating, but having VERY low estrogen! On day 3, it was 16! I have no vaginal dryness, in fact, I have lots of CM.

Anyone else feel this way? I am 42.

I'm sorry no ones has responded to your post yet. I wasn't sure exactly what you symptoms were. I mean this forum is for ppd and sounds like your describing more physical symptoms but I could be misunderstanding. Are you saying that your not feeling well but do you mean your feeling depressed and anxious?

I'm sorry. yes, I have been really depressed especially lately. I feel as though I am operating on 5% of what I am capable of.

Also, I was wondering if anyone has psychical symptoms of sweating and feeling hot all the time? I am So miserable.

I think that having temp fluctuations can be a sign on thyroid issues, which can also cause depression. I'm sure that there is a very strong hormonal component also. I go through temp fluctuations but it's more that I get really cold...I sleep with my feet on a heating pad every night. Around 9 months is when my thyroid was really low and they started me on meds but it actually hurt my thyroid and made me go hyper which caused me to have severe ppd and anxiety. So, if dr says your thyroid is normal then I would just wait a bit and see. Maybe if your really depressed than talk to dr about a ssri to help you out during this time.

I so hope that helps. I know how hard it is....
