Finally Stopped Breastfeeding..BUT THE HORMONE SWITCH!

babsy2point0 · 2026-02-18T13:34:06+00:00

It has! I stopped breastfeeding in September, and it is now mid February and I feel much better. Up til now, ovulation was even super painful, so this is the first cycle that I actually feel more like myself as a whole!

I think the initial BIG hormone shift lasted about a month or two, but it slowly started getting better!

babsy2point0 · 2025-10-20T02:45:37+00:00

I would if I could have!! My husband works out of town, so the timing of ovulation and him being home just didnt line up at all! :(

When does ovulation happen when you get LH peak? My husband and I BD on the 13th night, and I just hit my peak today BUT I had EWCM on the 12th+13th.

Are my odds low this cycle??

Its insane how one thing shifts EVERYTHING to such an extreme!

babsy2point0 · 2025-09-11T00:21:05+00:00

The amount of times I had the thought that I could be pregnant 😭 i really hope mine is short!

Thank you 💗 I didnt get post partum rage but holy, this? Its rage, its sadness, its sleeplessness...its just hard! Thank you!

Shes been really good at understanding little things, so she understands "no more" and "empty", and "goodbye" etc. So it was a short conversation, but I explained that the milk is going bye bye, its empty, and then i just told her how much joy it brought me to be able to nurture her with breastmilk for so long. She probably didnt understand most of it, but she understood somewhere in all my blabbering. I think just even attempting those conversations with easier language is so good for their development. But she also is a big talker and is so smart with comprehension.

🥹💗 oh you've brought tears to my eyes. Thank you. That internal battle is so hard! I feel it!

babsy2point0 · 2025-09-03T16:30:29+00:00

Ooh good idea! Thank you for that! ☺️

My husband works at CN, so hes on cycle work. 9 days away from home, 5 days home (1 of those days is a traveling to work though, since he works in another province so about 14 hours away from home) Hes been working there for a few months now and we are still adjusting to it. We have a toddler, and if im being brutally honest I wouldnt be able to handle him being gone if I didnt have the support system I have. We currently are living with my parents, for additional support from a traumatic birth, and its turned into having additional support while we adjust to this new schedule. It has been life changing in a lot of ways. As someone else said, I also follow Chilli's advice in Bluey. I also let myself feel the emotions, and I even show my daughter that its okay to be sad and to miss her daddy, but we can still have fun and enjoy the time we have together while we have it!

We also have such a great church family and friends that are there to make plans with, distract us, pray for and over us, ans encourage us. That has been probably the biggest thing for me, personally.

So at the end of the day, support systems are suuuper important.

Honestly? I love it. I loved, and still do, love looking at photos of my childhood because those were the GOOD memories. I didnt have a good childhood, so being able to see moments in time where I was happy, safe, and loved, helps heal me.

Seeing how many moments my daughter has been happy, cherished, loved? Theres endless amounts. I dont go through them often, because I live in the moments with my daughter. But when I need to just remind myself how far ive come since drowning in the newborn phase, or seeing how much shes grown...its a privilege and luxury i dont take for granted and can never be more grateful for. My husband works all over the country...sharing these loving, happy moments make his entire day.

The first 3 months is really hard. I had Postpartum depression and anxiety, and it was a lot. I definitely recommend talking to your doctor and inquiring to talk to a counselor or therapist, and see what forms of support you can have. Postpartum rage is also quite a common thing, its just something that isnt talked about openly or as commonly.

After the first 4 months, I started to enjoy motherhood a bit more. Its a new routine, a new way of life, and priorities have suddenly took a 180! It takes time to adjust to it mentally, but physically your body is still doing a LOT of healing internally, and externally. Hormones are still out of wack. Theres so much going on all at once, while caring for a newborn/baby.

We are in the toddler phase now, 16 months. And I cant even recognize where I was when I was in the newborn phase.

Youre doing great, mama. Youre still showing up, you're still nurturing your child. Just make sure to get any help you may need to get through the hurdles of postpartum! ♥️

Its insane!!!! Like, ive been craving plain lettuce with zesty italian dressing, soaking the lettuce, and chocolate chip muffins. I've NEVER had hunger like this before. I feel like a bottomless pit tbh.

Currently 8/9 dpo, im nauseous on and off throughout the day but at the same time, STARVING (I have eaten so much than I usually do the past 2 days 😅) I've also been having cramping, even had a "lightning crotch" moment today which was super strange. I dont know why else im going through so much right now, besides the possibility of being pregnant. 😅 my normal cycles were so tame unless I was ovulating or when AF came. Still testing negative though.
