PMS anyone?

So I am 30 and PMS is still alive and kicking for me like I was a pre-teen girl.  What about you?

I'm 35 soon to be 36. Its still alive and kicking. But now I get physical symptoms like retaining water. I have to be on prescription water pills during it because I can barely walk my feet get so swollen. Sometimes I wish I were born with a penis. ;. Men get all the breaks.

My period kicks my ass every month. I'm already an overly emotional person to begin with, but throw PMS in there and it's quite a ride once a month.

I'm 23, but I have worse PMS now than I did when I was younger. It's insane!

PMS is awful!  I'm 24 and it's defiantly getting worse.  I'm with you GAC, once a month I wish I was a dude.  Seriously.

Ugh yeah I get it all super tired, crankey, sometimes breakout a little, cramps, hungry horrors.  Men have it so easy!  No periods and they can pee standing up.

I'm 23 and no PMS. I have cycle problems , always have since I started birth control shots when I was younger. I now have PCOS. I have no clue how I ever got pregnant with my son. The situation sucks though because when we try to concieve I will have to take meds to make me ovulate since I don't have regular cycles. Even on birth control pills my periods aren't regular.

I hear you Christina, I also have PCOS.  It really does suck keeping all of the symptoms under control.  You are very lucky to already have one little guy!  Hopefully you will have little to no problems conceiving again!

I'm 32 and I'm a freaking bear every month - it's actually gotten worse since I had my son.  I turn into an emotional, raving wreck who will eat anything (or anyone, for that matter) that wanders too close to me.  No breakouts anymore, but I get intense headaches for the first day or so.

Thanks ! I often think of him as my miracle but my FI and I would love a child together one day. If not we will still be happy , he thinks of my son just as his own. Good luck to you too !

My skin becomes and oil slick and I get small breakouts.  I actually postponed my save the date photo session today because I looked around for 6 hours yesterday trying to find the perfect outfit.  (I felt like a blimp in everything I tried on.)  Then when I told my fiance the session was postponed he giggled at me and shook his head playfully.  I damn near took his head off and started crying!  (Well, he def knows what he's marrying!)

So yeah I can honestly say I am already a very emotional person.  (I've started doing yoga to calm my a$$ down.)  But no matter how positive I try to be once a month the pms demon takes over.   It's good to know I'm not the only one.  Thanks ladies!

I am 31 ... I get 1 maybe 2 migraines a month that I take meds for when they pop up, I don't really get a period because I have an IUD BUT I still get the PMS that goes with it. There are about 5 days that I am so exhausted I could fall over asleep standing up sometimes and I get Sooo over emotional and cry over everything usually I make it only one major cry a month like snot nosed ugly cry. But get to be a Major bth and take everything the wrong way. I feel bad for FI when menopause hits me because my mood swings with Pms are so bad I don't know how they can get worse

Christina an Jlp I too have PCOS and my FI and I are trying to concieve as of now. I have to take 3 different meds just to make that happen! My Dr. told me it is better to try now while I am still in my 20's rather than wait until I'm 30. We shall see if it happens! Hoping sooner than later so I am not super prego when we get married! As far as PMS goes. I am 27 and when I do get my period I definitely get PMS! The FI tells me so! lol

Good Luck Green!  We are going to try to conceive right after we get married.  I will be in that doctors office asking for whatever drugs they have right before we get married to try and jump start the process!  My specialist (as of now) is giving us an 80% chance of conceiving so hopefully we will! 
My very best wishes to you and your FI!!!

Mirena?  I have Paragard (hormone-free IUD).  Picked that one to get away from the extra hormones, but still just as psychotic as I was before, with a real period to boot lol.

Dammit.

<div>Thank You Jlp! We decided if it doesn't happen in a couple months we are going to take a 5 month break and then try again. Wish you and your FI the best of luck when you start TTC. </div>
