breastfeeding & menses

[Guest guest]

Oh my goodness, , sounds like a nightmare! Makes me think of my good

friend who hasn't chosen to marry or have a family - human, that is - but she

has a " family " of three large dogs. They all sleep with her on the queensize

bed, stretched paws all over each other and her. It used to be just two of the

dogs, but after a recent relocation to another state, the third dog decided she

wanted to join everybody. My friend is planning to get a kingsized bed now to

accommodate the third dog!

I feel for you, girl!!

, I'm not sure what happened, you should have been rewarded with a L-O-N-G

period of amenorrhea! That is too unfortunate that you put in so much time and

effort with the breastfeeding and didn't even get the payoff of no periods! Oh

well, I am sure there have been payoffs in other ways with your kids. What were

your thyroid/adrenal glands like at the time? I wonder if any malfunction in

these areas affects the interplay of the sex hormones when your body is trying

to determine how long it will go with breastfeeding amenorrhea. I'll bet there's

some kind of relationship, somewhere in there. Although I could swear I became

hypothyroid after my son was born (the 13-monther) but of course had no idea

what was causing all the symptoms.

Well, one of these days soon, it may return, and it would be nice for

them to have tired of the hard floors by then! I say a thin blanket

will do the trick!

Yes, I know, I'm mean. (:^w
