@raspberrytorte If your period is keeping you from sleeping that sounds like it may be a problem. It's been a long time since I had a period because I had a hysterectomy when I was 36 due to crazy periods with very heavy bleeding and pain so I don't remember what normal was like really but not like that... They thought I was going through early menopause but now it's been 12 years and I NEED to get through menopause to get on a drug to help prevent breast cancer and my hormones are still there although gradually things seem to be happening. But before my hysterectomy I had a Mirena IUD put in that they hoped would just control things until I got through menopause. For me it did not work because I seem to be very sensitive to hormones and it made my bipolar spin out of control until it was removed and then my bipolar immediately improved. But that's really rare, the first time my gyn or pdoc had seen it (although they found a 2nd case soon after with the new awareness from me so it does happen). I just bring it up because it sounds like you are suffering and there are ways to help.
