Hi girls

I've just joined the site and hope some of you girls might have a few words of wisdom for me.

I have suffered from my periods ever since they began many moons ago. I was eventually diagnosed with Endo 11 years ago. I have had many different types of treatment and ops etc. I had a Mirena fitted in June and while I know, technically it's not that long ago, I can't quite figure out if I am headed in the right direction or not.

I'll start with the positive! One of my symptoms has already stoped which is fantastic, I used to sufffer the most awful night sweats that would last for a week at a time. So I am over the moon about that. However, since June I have basically had a period, it might stop for a couple of days but then it starts all over again and each one goes through the motion of how a normal period would have been then it stops and a couple of days after, the next one starts. These have varied from 5 days, to 14 days and there is no pattern other than stopping for a couple of days.

I have been back to my Dr and he said it may take another 6 months for it to die down but I am trying to keep my focus on long term and the hope things will improve.

The main issue for me though at the moment is that on the few days break I get, I have awful mood swings. I just snap and its rotten. I hate it and its making me miserable I am usually such a calm and patient person and I don't like that I am snapping especially around my family. I end up hating myself and feeling guilty afterwards.

So I'm wondering (and hoping) that someone else has had a similar experience. My hope is that if the periods lessen or stop altogether, that the moods will be gone too or am I just being unrealistic?
