I was never a person who had any real trouble with my periods before! I am having my second one now since dd- she is 16 mos. And I am so Crabby!!! It is frustrating! I have no patience and I am MAD! No real reason- but I can't seem to stop it! UGHHHHHHH!!! Anyone else have this problem when theirs returned?

Yep, took about 6 months to return to normal. This too shall pass, just try not to bite anybody til you feel better. Look at the PMS post of a while back, there was lots of good advice there too.

Oh yes! Sounds "hormonal" to me. Those darn hormones are really thrown out of whack after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

I will try not to hurt anyone!
I am still nursing so I don't know if that makes it better or worse!

Well I have heard that when you nurse you let out happy hormones, but doesnt sound like you are too happy. I hope it all straightens itself out for you.

I'm like that on regular periods, post prego or not. I've always been like that. It's difficult to deal with...I always feel like such a terrible person because I'm so grouchy and just downright mean at times. Hang in there! Maybe yours will go away!

Ditto Reds9298. I think my DH wishes he were single for about a week every month, LMBO!

Since I had Jade I am emotional before every period hits me! It is awful. Rich knows when it is coming because I can cry at the drop of a hat! Over really stupid stuff. Good luck and know you are not alone!! This too shall pass.
