I am so confused right now. I just turned 35 and had my yearly yesterday. I have had the merana in for 3 years now, at first it was fine with the exeption of constant breakthrough bleeding but the past 8-12 months I have noticed a obvious moodiness during/before periods , still have multiple periods with constant breakthrough bleeding and I have cramping that i havent had before. My dr. wants me to try taking the pill for 3 months to kick my system back into place but the idea of all these hormones makes me very nervous. any body go through this?
