Constant bleeding and mood swings

3 replies

If anyone has any advice I would be greatly appreciated. I had a baby a year ago, Iv never really suffered with mood swings before but Iv been to the doctors many times about my problem. For the last 5/6 months I have been having very irregular periods, Iv been coming on my period for at least 3 weeks in a month and I am assuming that this is the reason I'm having awful and I mean awful mood swings. I have started the pill microgram and Iv been taking it for about 3 weeks now so not long but I have been bleeding while taking it, but it's just a constant dark red to a brown colour until I'm due to come on properly and that will be like a normal period. There is obviously something big going on with my hormones but I don't know what or why, my mood swings are really bad I just get so angry over the stupidest things and my partner is getting the brunt of it all and it's really getting me down as it's everyday! I know I'm being vile but I just can't help it, then I get really upset because Iv been so horrible and snapping at everyone. It's really starting to affect me a lot and my partner tries to help me as much as he can to try and make me feel better and I just bite his head off. The doctors just keep fobbing me off and I really need to do something about what's happening with me. Has anyone else been through anything similar to this? What would you do?

Sorry to hear this. It doesn't sound great for you.
What has your GP done and said so far?

They have put me on the pill to try and help the bleeding which so far isn’t working but they just said the mood swings are down to my hormones but they just don’t seem to care too much. I’m going to go back as it’s really upsetting me and it’s not fair me taking it out on my family but I just don’t know what to do as the doctors don’t seem to listen.

Mood swings could be hormonal. I used to take a magnesium supplement, vitamin d plus b6 and found this helped with mood to some extent.
If the bleeding doesn't settle on the pill go back to the Dr. I had a cervical erosion when younger that used to bleed.
