Hi
Posting here for traffic. Since the birth of my last child who is now 3, my periods have been getting heavier and heavier. I saw the gp about 18 months ago who did bloods and everything was fine but it has continued to get worse to the point I struggle to be at work even on a short shift (shop work) because of the worrying I will leak and the sudden flooding.
I also feel I am so affected by my hormones from about 3 days before, I am so emotional, spotty, I feel like I’m in a brain fog and can’t make minor decisions about what to cook for dinner etc. I feel so tightly wound up and snappy all the time and so irritable and can’t tolerate anything and that’s so different to how I am the rest of the month and I just can’t take it any more.
I have also gained weight over the last year or so and I can’t shift it which is getting me down, I think it may all be linked.
Has anyone else experienced this? Should I go back to my gp? Although they are not doing routine appointments yet and this won’t be classed as urgent.
For extra info I am early 30’s, not overweight, no other health issues.
