Hi everyone, I am 4 months post partum and have just started my second cycle, exclusively breastfeeding. I am one of those lucky ones that gets their cycle back early no matter what. I have been having horrible pms, angry, irritable and so easily frustrated these last two cycles. I feel bad for taking it out on my family. I was wondering if anyone knew anything that I could do while breastfeeding. I don't mind trying the progesterone cream, but I don't want it to affect my supply at all. I also read about Vitex. Has anyone tried that while breastfeeding. Its clear that something needs to happen. I have so many hormones changing with nursing and periods that I feel like a nut! Any advice? Thanks

Yes Vitex is safe to take while nursing. I have taken it for years to help with the exact symptoms you are talking about. I have noticed that I am more balanced emotionally. When I first started taking it it seemed to take a month or so to really help. I buy Nature's Way brand. I take it once in the morning (never forget this one) and once at night (when I remember) everyday. Hope that helps.
