Hot flushes and hormones after pregnancy

Hi, has anyone else had problems with their hormones settling down after giving birth?

My son is 6 months old now and everyday i suffer from really bad hot flushes which i have never had before. I break out into an uncontrollable sweat all over and in this hot weather I am finding it really uncomfortable! My diet is good and I am taking plenty of exercise but struggling to loose any weight which I think might be related? Any ideas???

I am feeling just the same, have you been to the doctors about this?
When I was expecting I had odema and since giving birth I have had terrible hot flushes, I am wondering if it is water retention!!! Would love to know if you have now recovered.
