Something is wrong with my pill?

i dont know what to do i have a 5 week old baby and it is to soon to be having another one.so i went on the pill about 2weeks ago and have been feeling down.is it from the pill? or is it the baby blues?and what do i do?

mine too. should we trade?

It could be either the pill or postpartum depression.. or a combination of both. I just started birth control again and it made me depressed within a couple days of starting it.

It could be Postpartum depression, or "postnatal". Main thing is you need to talk to your doctor. Don't delay, anything like that could be normal but it could also be bad. So better to be safe and sure than sorry.

It could be a little of both...Try talking to your dr. and tell them exactly how you have been feeling and what ever kinds of thoughts you may have...They can determine whats going on, I'm sure they hear it all the time...
You can try asking the dr to switch your pill and see if that helps...Good Luck, and congrats on the new baby, I have a 2 y/o and I miss her being so small, lol, enjoy it while it lasts,lol :-)

It's more likely post-partum depression than the pill. Talk to your doctor about it as soon as you can. It can be treated so you feel more like yourself again. You don't want this interfering with you bonding with your baby and enjoying this time.

If you feel sad, lack energy, feel hopeless, cry a lot, and lose interest in formerly enjoyable activities, you have symptoms of depression.

These are very normal after childbirth, as a result of huge changes in your hormones, as well as in your day-to-day life.

The "baby blues" go away within a few days after pregnancy. So you're past the point of calling it just the baby blues.

If your symptoms are causing significant distress, consider the following options:
-join a support group for postpartum depression
-seek help from friends and family
-rest whenever you can
-talk therapy with a psychologist or counselor

If this is a problem for you, take the necessary steps to get help. You don't need to continue suffering. It's best for everyone if you feel your best.

It's hard to say without knowing if you've ever been on the pill before and what, if any, side effects you had then. My guess, with the limited information you've provided, is that it's the baby blues. I'd hang in there and see if it gets better - maybe try to take the baby for a walk in the stroller a few times a week, rest when you can, and try to get some emotional support from family or friends. If it doesn't improve, if it gets worse, or if you find yourself getting angry at your baby, please make an appointment with your doctor. Baby blues can turn into postpartum depression and it's a serious health issue that needs to be treated, because it can have serious implications for your relationship with your child, and your child's development throughout his/her childhood.

Take care of yourself and best of luck with the little one.

Soooo... when you have your period your progesterone and estrogen drop dramatically.
Right before you have a baby they peak like crazy and then drop down again.
The low levels of progesterone and estrogen keep you from getting pregnant because they have nowhere to drop... especially if you breastfeed because your body keeps progesterone down in order to enable lactation.
The way the pill works is it gives your body a consistant stream of estrogen and progesterone, they never drop and they never peak.
But you are throwing your body through a loop right now. You just had a baby and you are forcing your hormone levels higher than they should be right now.
Give your body a break! It knows your not ready to get pregnant, that's why your homones are low. Now you have PMS because your hormone levels are up.
It's not too late to get off of it.

It probably is related to the baby blues, but could also be pill related as well. It depends on the type of pill. You should consult your ob/gyn asap.
