What happens when hormones spikes and dips again after such a long while (right smack at 10th months of breastfeeding)? The horrendous pain (sore nipples) is far worse than any emotional pain. Another item not many people experience and talk about it would seems.

Anxiety was first to strike. Can I still breastfeed? Answer is apparently yes! Prolactin though diminished is still higher than normal, and that high level of prolactin is only needed at the starting phases (especially when milk supply is establishing).

Sex hormones, estrogen, is making its return. Makes logical sense. Intimacy between my spouse and I sure needs rescuing. Our celibacy has been long standing or on a long break.

All in due time as people say. Now, it is time to endure with the infamous PMSes aka moodswings.
