I don't want to scare you, but hear me out. :)

I had a similar situation back in April. At week four I saw my gyno over my heavy, long period and I had some incredible mood swings (yelling and VERY irritable), slight nausea, and tenderness in my lower abdomen for the first time.

Anyway, she had me go through ultrasounds and they found that the lining in my uterus was thicker than normal. After a biopsy, she told me that the cells were pre-cancerous. Now, I'm 20 years old so this was a bit shocking that it was possible that I could develop uterine cancer. I had to go through a surgery (forgot the name) where my doctor removed some of the lining with the questionable cells. Afterwards, I was put on BC to regulate my periods.

In short: go see a gynecologist. I'm sure your situation won't turn out as serious as mine, but to me it sounds like you have endometriosis (like [livejournal.com profile] retrotelephone said).
