Made my period short and regular but so heavy. Like only 2-3 days but going through a super plus every couple hours.

I've experienced less pain around my uterus and ovaries, cysts are reduced, my breast are slightly enlarged and tender, my bones (especially hip, knee, and ankle joints) ache and hurt occasionally, mysex drive seems to have increased (I still find my partner very attractive just as before, which based on experiences I've seen others go through was a potential risk).

Severe menstrual period and severe cramping I have never felt pain like this in my life and I'm 32 years old.
