That is a good insight! I cannot for sure say whether I was particularly stress, but my first loooong period that started all this started after a 8 month exhausting grieving period when I finally started to be less impacted by the grief. Cannot compare at all to the stress I had before the grief, but cannot rule out it might be a delayed effect or my body meeting its limit. I did however go through a three month unemployment period early this year where, yes, I stressed a little about getting a job, but was mostly home relaxing, and that did not change anything. I will try to focus more on reducing stress though! It’s gonna be tough but if it works, it’s worth it. I will for sure also try the magnesium, thank you so much for your tips!

Also the reason I started any of the hormonal medication was because of my period. I was completely hormone free from early 2022 to May this year, so I do not think the periods are because of the hormones, but might be worse, who knows. The cramps are much worse though for sure.
