Well, the more I hear from other women, and the more I experience myself, I'm finding that "normal" is a very hard thing to determine, especially during the pregnancy/nursing/weaning years. The way that your own body may react to the hormonl changes, combined with whatever stresses and issues you may have in your life may be completely different from the way someone else's body may react. I hope you get some conclusive answers soom! All the best!
