I do know that it's fairly common for hormone imbalance after pregnancy. As far as infertility, I don't think you have to worry about that any time soon- a simple hormonal imbalance can be treated with medication if you want to get pregnant.

I tried to do some online research but couldn't find any good answers. Did you doc hint at a reason for the imbalance, or just recovery from pregnancy?

My condolences for your loss.

Thanx for your reply. My doctor said it's probably due to stress, especially after my baby was born prematurely (at 35,5 weeks) and I feel that the medication prescribed to hold him back was the cause of his brain damage, as there's no other explanation (none of the doctors could tell me what happened). I am very unhappy about that and will probably never get over that, but I know life goes on. When I went to my doctor he had blood tests done but he didn't say much about what the problem is. In the mean time I have taken Clomid to try and get pregnant, and have done ovulation tests this month and it seems like something is happening. I so badly want to give my other boy a brother or sister so hold thumbs for me!

Make sure to take care of yourself- take time to relax and grieve, do things you enjoy, etc.

Best of luck! Baby dust!!

Oh I am so sorry for your loss! I cannot imagine the pain and suffering of losing a child that late in pregnancy. You poor thing!

There is a such a thing as hormonal imbalance after pregnancy, and I don't know how common it is, but I have it right now (and I've never had it before) and a friend of mine has it too. I am currently breastfeeding, but my cycle always returns three months after the baby is born, and this is my 6th child. Not here yet and it's driving me crazy.

Progesterone counteracts and balances the estrogen. The estrogen builds up in your body until your period, and since you haven't had a period for 9 months and aren't breastfeeding, it's not healthy for you to keep that much estrogen buildup inside you. It causes long term health problems.

I think getting on birth control can regulate it too, which you might want to consider. There is a certain treatment that can make your period start, but I am unsure of the name. You'll have to talk to your doctor. Again, I don't know much about it personally, but my friend has this done as well. You can also try a progesterone cream to try to spike your fertility. It's called Happy PMS and is safe to use when you use as directed and safe for pregnancy too, and will help with your mood.

I hope you are successful: baby dust to you my dear.

I got married in year 2002 atlast my baby girl was born on October 2005, cute and and healthy. Now I've got a hormone problem, after I gave birth to my baby, Im getting bigger from 125lbs to 185lbs not only that, pimples and pigmentation all over my face and getting darker my neck and my armfit...

I went to the Doctor for check up and gym for exercise but not serious, I feel insecure everytime we're going out with my hubby and i feel so ugly.. any suggestion you can give me. thanks a lot!

I would get tested for polycystic ovary syndrome! its more common than people think, you will need an internal ultra sound.

Hi i am sorry for your loss. i too feel after delivery there are chances for hormone imbalance. and the doctor can easily treat it. since you had a baby already i dont think it will be a problem for you to conceive again. i too feel stress and anxiety plays a vital role in the chance of conceiving.
try to relax yourself, and keep your mind free.
