Sorry I've beenmissing so long, I have been in the hormone hell. first the good news: I finally weaned my son! He is 28 months and was showing no signs of stopping on his own, so I finally just cut him off. This was two weeks ago.
But ever since, my hormones have been wreaking havoc on my body. Here's what I am dealing with:
Insomnia (have not slept through the night since I weaned)
Bad constipation
Bad skin
Body hair growing back faster
Zero sex drive
A lot of water retention
Very intense cravings
And I have gained seven (yes seven)pounds in the last two weeks
Jeepers. This is not fun. I hope things regulate soon! I'm already 40 years old, and Lord knows what other hormonal things were going on before I weaned.
