I am almost 32 years old and my period symptoms are getting much worse. Now I don’t know if this is due to age, or hormones changing after having 2 children, I’m not sure but my god it is becoming unbearable!
I never struggled before, all I ever experienced was period pains, but I was on the implant for 9 years and had this removed to have my children, so that may have helped with the horrible symptoms potentially. But after having my baby in July last year I decided to just let my body do what it’s supposed to do and stay natural and for the first time in years I had proper periods with no contraception. Unfortunately after not being on contraception I had severe PMDD symptoms so I decided to go on the pill to try and help regulate my symptoms which have helped slightly but now I am having a period constantly! And sometimes it’s not just light spotting, it’s like I am having 2 full on periods every month! Due to this, I am having to deal with feeling ill more often and it’s becoming debilitating. I currently feel sick, headache, heightened anxiety, on edge, irritable, emotional, I feel like I am going crazy! It’s a horrible feeling. I can’t even tell anymore if it’s hormones, age, perimenopause, a side effect to the pill. I just don’t know what to do anymore.
Does anyone know if there is anything for PMDD as I would love to come off the pill as I can’t keep having a period almost daily, it’s making me so ill! But I am scared to come off and have the awful PMDD symptoms come back which usually lasts a week before my period.
honestly being a woman is hard work and I feel there isn’t much out there that can help us.
