PP Moods

Anyone feel like they have mood/body shifts at points like ur having a cycle, only ur not yet (bc of breastfeeding)?

I keep researching and it just keeps directing me to postpartum depression, which this is not (I used to treat pp depression). This is more intermittent, not a lasting mood. Like every few months feeling emotional/irritable/bloated, but then not having a period. Is this my body trying to have a period?

What are these pp hormones all about? There’s seemingly little info on the stage post pregnancy, pre-period.
