Did it turn you into an emotional, hormonal mess? Between my cycle being 10 days off and the weaning all I seem to do is get my feelings hurt, cry, eat, and my face looks like that of a 13 yr old going through puberty.
I was horrible, and worse is that I was horrible to my LO. I had no patience at all, crying all the time...seriously, I was looking up phone numbers for psychiatrists! Luckily it only lasted about three weeks. We're not fully weaned yet but down to 2 or 3 sessions a day and I'm feeling much more stable. L was also acting stressed out during that time, probably in reaction to my craziness, but it only made things worse.

Thank you for this. So glad that I am not all alone. My H just keeps saying the stupidest stuff to me and I just want to kick him down a flight of stairs.
I had terrible mood swing the entire time I was nursing. Weaning made me get on the crazy train headed to loonyville. I was depressed, angry, and relieved all at the same time. I feel much better now.
