Need a bit more advice.
I still feel she's grumpy but on and off grumpy.
This weekend she couldnt find any winter clothes so was snapping she had nothing to wear and getting heated up.

Last night she was super happy and we were watching a movie.
Now to go with the next part, i'll just add that she's changed her contraception 2 months ago and has another month left so shes bleeding on and off for 2 months, mostly light.
We were about to have sex this morning as she thought sge had stopped bleeding but there was quite a bit of blood and i hate blood so said we should leave it.
She then started crying (again) about how we hardly have sex and how it"s her fault with the blood; i was trying to reassure her and told her shes overreacting and she sais i dont understand because im not the one bleeding out my penis for 2 months hmm
I stupidly told her how we cant have sex in the morning anyway because it smells afterwards and she has work and how she hates showering at mine; She then said that's not true and went for a shower.

After the shower and everything had calmed a bit we spoke and she said she feels like a hormonal freak and she feels she's always in a mood and she apologised and said she'll work on communicating properly. She said shes scared im going to get sick of the mood swings and constant bleeding but i reassured her and told her theres only a month left; she also asked if its normal for things to be so tense early on but we're not really arguing with each other, more her stressing herself out when theres no problem

Its just all getting a bit tedious.

Sounds like shes struggling with her hormoanes.
Time to go back to the doctor and request a change, right now.
There are non-hormoane contraceptive options, like the copper coil, that she could try.

Yeah i agree, just been going on for a couple of weeks now so i dont know what to do

Anyone?

Hormone issues with contraception takes waaaaay longer than a couple of weeks to settle down!!! You need to accept that she'll be confused and emotional for a bit longer. Perhaps you could do some research into the hormones she's having pumped into her body as contraceptive, and possible alternatives - like condoms. Educate yourself.

And "you're over-reacting" is probably THE worst thing to say to a hormonal woman, or anyone actually! It's dismissive, patronising and lacks empathy.

And she is correct, you are getting sick of it - finding it 'tedious'. So she's hardly over reacting, just picking up on your vibes.

Shes on the injection so she cant change yet, she has 4 more weeks, im trying to be supportive but theres only so much i can say and do

Before the past 2 weeks sge was happy and laid back which is what im finding confusing

Are you planning on having children together? Because if you are, you need to prepare yourself for at least 18 months of this kind of behaviour that you are finding tedious.
All you can do is be supportive. Hormones are fuckers.

Do not underestimate the effect a shift in hormones can have on a person. The contraceptive pill and injections may suit some people but not everyone. If I knew then (when I was 16) what I know now, i would never have used hormonal contraception. If this is a change in her since the injection, I would be very vary of having more.

I have recently developed PMDD at the grand old age of 41, having never had even PMS in my life before, it is like I dont recognise myself for a few days of the month. Like I am a totally different irrational person. I can more or less keep it together but the confusion in my head during those times is immense. And then, bam I am back to normal again. www.psycom.net/premenstrual-dysphoric-disorder-pmdd

Be kind, read up on hormones and see how it goes. And make sure she has a very good multi vitamin with methylated B vitamins. You sound sweet, and its nice you are trying to be understanding.
