Hello Jorainbow,
I'm 49 & have been through exactly the same experience as you over the last 3 years (I'm due to be assessed for endometrial ablation again in the autumn). My cycle went from 28-30 days to 23-25 days with day 2 being the worst (very heavy). My pms is horrendous (and continues during the week after my period) with extreme mood swings at the drop of a hat and I found 2 thick, black hairs growing on my jawline and cheek (my hair frames those parts of my face so I hadn't noticed them straight away (no idea if anyone else noticed - if they did, they kept quiet!)

. Sparkle's post about feeling the intense anger resonated with me - I was like this at the weekend and felt it again earlier whilst trying to complete a job application on the computer.

. Since April, my cycle has reverted back to 28-31 days so not sure what is going on now (periods are still much the same as before). Debating on whether to try hrt again (Oestrogel) but feel I should wait until I have had my assessment (camera etc) when I will know what is going on in there (I was found to have a small fibroid a year ago). Sending hugs
