PMS worse after c?

earthbabee

Ever since I had my lo over a year ago, my PMS has been horrible.  I breastfed but my period came back six weeks to the day of her birth.  It didn't affect my milk supply but the PMS has gotten increasingly worse since.  I am scared of myself.  I become hostile, angry, irritable.  The physical symptoms aren't as bad as the mental ones.  I cannot go on the pill, it makes it worse.  I truly feel my body is lacking certain hormones.  I swim and practice yoga regularly but it's not helping.  I am looking for herbal or homeopathic suggestions.  Does anhyone have experience or advice?

Good to know. This morning I woke up to pre menstral cramps, but last night I was so irritated with one of our dogs. It was so out of poportion to what our min pin actually did, I didn't see him most of the night after I told him he was bad for knocking over the garbage. He only knocked it over, but the way I yelled at him, you would have thought he had strewn it all over the place and was eating it!! I don't have any advice yet, since it's the first I experienced PMS to this degree, but I wanted to let you know you're not alone

Holy crap, yes! I've gotten 2 pp periods so far. For the first one I was a raging biitch for almost 2 weeks. This last time wasn't as bad, but I am definitely more irritable than usual. I wonder why this happens.

My PMS and periods are worse after LO than before LO. I wish there was a way to fix it other than going on BC, which I hated being on before due to headaches it gave me.

In spite of breast feeding I've had a period every month since the c/s.  I don't have the same problem though.  My PMS is about the same but the periods are way way more painful, to the point I'm taking meds for them.  I hope you find some relief soon.
