hormones out of whack?

Question

i had a baby 4 months ago. now im kind of worried i may be pregnant because im having some symptoms but i think it may be more hormones. let me know what you think!
- i got my real period at the start of july
- bled 2 times that month (more than spotting- pretty much a period)
-i had started bc that month so im not sure if i ovulated other than the first time i had a period.
-stopped birth control when my third bout of bleeding started.
-assuming i should be expecting my period anytime now
-started producing milk again a few days ago - white like milk but sticky like colostrum
-my nipples have become darker brown rather than pink, like while i was preggo
-breasts are somewhat tender - not too bad tho.
-had trouble sleeping on my stomach last few nights - it feels uncomfortable in my lower belly.

my question is -WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?? haha i know it may be hard to answer, i do have a drs appt coming up on sept 5th but i just want some peace of mind.what could this b

also ive gained 8 lbs since my son was born - could this be a metabolic or hormonal issue? it sucks!

my first instinct would be that im pregnant but where i had that bleeding throughout my first month on bc, its thrown me off because now im not sure when the last time i ovulated was.

Answer 1

Yes, it could be related to a hormone imbalance that is going on. I would recommend getting back in touch with your doctor to let them know what's going on to see what they say.
