Post partum depression and birth control

MD

I started taking progesterone only pill 3 months after giving birth. Shortly after I started I was going through major PPD. I hated myself, my life (never anything to do with my baby though thank God) I was crying uncontrollably everyday and just super depressed to the point u was getting very worried and so was my partner.

I decided to come off the pill and within that first month I felt sooooo much better, all the PPD symptoms disappeared. I have been off it for 4 months and wanted to share this just in case any other mama is experiencing it. It could be the pill!!! Hope this post helps.
