I'm not sure if I expect to get any answers really but I think it will be cathartic to get this off my chest...
I think I am perimenopausal due to erratic periods/age. My periods have been slightly haywire for a year or so, just skipping the odd one which I can deal with. Last couple of months have been worse, i got a day of light bleeding last month on the due day, then nothing for two weeks, then horrendous flooding for a week.
This month on due day I got v light flow which dried up quickly, then nothing...but horrendous PMT which is the biggest issue.
I have been crying for days, I swing between being furious (with everything and everyone) to being a sobbing wreck. I am trying to keep a lid on it and get on with everyday life but I am really struggling. Normally I would get pmt for a couple of days pre period but would be fine once started. Is this why it's so bad? Because my period is due but not actually coming?
I went to the doctor about the flooding as I've never had anything like it before, she examined me and said to track my periods for a few months and see what happens as it might be just a blip in my cycle.
All I know is I can't carry on like this, the physical side I can deal with as I work from home but these mood swings are something else, I'm scaring myself. When we discussed the flooding she said a mirena coil might be a good option, would that help the pmt too?
