Crazy hormones!!!

[azariahsmom]

Okay, so I am BF my DS who is 24 weeks old. Last week I had HORRIBLE hot flashes that were waking me up at night and making my blood pressure and heart rate go crazy, so I wasn't sleeping very well. This week has been much better, but I'm still having crazy hormonal changes, like intense nausea, etc. I was wondering if any of you had any tips for dealing with these hormone changes. Oh, and I haven't had a period yet, which is probably why my hormones are going crazy go nuts. TIA!

Are you using birth control? The intense nausea makes me wonder if you might be pregnant.

No idea how to deal with crazy hormones if you're not pregnant... I hope they even out soon!

I'll be watching this thread, I got this the whole time I was breastfeeding my first, until I got pregnant again. And if it starts up hardcore this time, I'm going to look at starting to supplement pretty early, because it seriously harmed my quality of life.

Wish I had something helpful to contribute.

Hmmm... I have heard that calcium and magnesium can sometimes help with such issues. Sorry - that's all I've got. Oh - except maybe Evening Primrose Oil?

The birth control made me crazy so I stopped it after a couple weeks and that was five months ago. We aren't having sex because it hurts too bad (I can't stay wet enough and lubes don't work). I have been feeling better this past week, except or last night.

Any more suggestions? They've been so bad lately that I haven't been able to sleep until daybreak...
