Does Your Body Go Through Hormonal Changes Once You Stop Breastfeeding?
I stopped breast feeding about 10 days ago (my 13 month old weaned herself). Since then I’ve felt hormonal, kind of like when I’m on my period or when I find out I’m pregnant (but I’m NOT pregnant).
Is this natural? How long does it take your hormones to chill out again?
yes. i felt exactly the same, it was just like when i would get my period or like you say, when you first were pregnant, it settled down but it did take a few weeks, maybe just more than a month for me.![](http://perimenopausehelp.net/" alt=)
i also experienced physical changes (apart from the obvious breast changes) i lost LOADS of hair on my head (you couldnt tell or anything but at the time i was so worried i was going to go bald lol) i think it was because your hair gets thicker in pregnancy and where some ppl lose it when they have their baby maybe if you breast feed the hormones are still there, also my (beautiful, for once in my life) nails all started to break. like i said though it was an emotional rollercoaster for a few weeks but it will get better soon
