Since having my two boys, my hormones have been all over the place. My periods are heavier. At certain times in my cycle I get cramping pains and headaches which I never got before. Worst of all, I get PMT and am, ahem, moody/irritable/miserable. Take your pick. Before children I used to feel sexy when I was ovulating. Now I just feel cross!
I'm still losing lots of hair every time I wash it. DS2 is 19mths and I stopped b/f in May. How long does it take for hormones to settle down after b/f? I thought things might have improved after 6 months.
What can I take to balance my hormones out? I seem to remember people talking about starflower oil, evening primrose oil & B vitamins. Does anyone have any advice please? I'm sure everyone in my household will thank you for it!
