Follow Up

Hi all. I posted awhile ago about feeling stiff and sore all the time (EP). Since that post I've had another new occurrence. I had af and then two weeks later I had another, lighter and not quite as long but definitely af. My baby is five months today and this is the first time af has been wonky. (My cycle returned at about 6 weeks.)

My hormones seem to be all over the place lately. My nipples are also hurting a lot again. I don't know if my body is trying to switch gears or what. No dip in my supply so that's good. I'm really trying to hang in there and make it to six months. But some days one more month feels like a million years away.

I've found an OB/GYN in our new city and I have an appt next week. I really hope she can shed some light on why my body is responding so strongly to the pumping, or figure out if something else is wrong with me.

I could use some encouragement if anyone feels like throwing some my way. I've been so emotional lately I've even been wishing I could try nursing again instead of pumping. I know this can't happen at this point and I would just end up in severe pain again due to her severe latch. Damn it's hard to let go of that dream.
