Feeling Weird After Stopping BFing

Hi Ladies,

What kind of hormonal things are going on when you stop BFing? I assume all sorts of stuff, but I really have no idea. I stopped about 2 weeks ago and ever since then have felt weird - light headed, nauseous, and just not myself. I even started to think I was pregnant - and took two tests (negative). I was pretty sure it's not even a possibility, but I couldn't figure out why else I'd be so miserable! Even now I still think I might take another. It occurred to me that maybe changes in hormones could be responsible for these feelings?? My OB seemed skeptical...so I thought I'd see if anyone else ever had this happen to them?

Thanks!!

    I stopped 2 weeks ago too and I have been feeling nauseous as well.  I am not pregnant either.

    This is good to hear - not that you are feeling nauseous!! But that I'm not the only one. I hope that if this is what it is, it goes away soon for both of us!!

    I know you can get post-weaning depression, so it makes sense that hormone changes could be causing other symptoms.

    I remember being really cold and almost 'sick' feeling for a couple of weeks...maybe sort of the same thing. Or maybe I was just sick.
