I felt the most mentally stable I ever have in my life while I was pregnant.

have any other ladies experienced anything like this? my doctor seems dismissive that there is a connection but I KNOW that for me the big hormone changes associated with my son's birth precipitated my developing more severe and "typical" bipolar II symptoms. I don't know that it matters that much from a treatment perspective just wondering if there is anyone else like me...
I find myself channeling Satan about a week to ten days before my cycle.
