Anything to help me stop being such a twat?

[Loveskin2024]

I’m awful for 1-2 weeks every month. Absolutely hate myself. Anyone have any advice on how to combat pms? I’m thinking of taking combined contraception patch, I’ve heard it’s good & can help with mood swings especially when used without a break

any help would be appreciated ☹️

I went on the Mirena coil and it has been amazing. It was painful for the first month or so but I have had no periods for about ten years now and I don't get a week every month of feeling like I am losing my grip on my sanity any more.

Thankyou, it is painful having it done? I’m super squeamish even after having two babies 😅

@Loveskin2024

Yes mirer coil what a difference 👏🏿 👌 its made in my life too, !

Yes it felt very real unpleasant discomfort measuring the size of fit
it needs to be for you to have right size mirer coil

However it's worth it..

Following. I don’t fancy the coil or anything hormones though.

My husband can now predict the week, and someone day I’m going to come on my period but I am that irritable and horrible the week before. The smallest inconvenience makes me unnecessarily annoyed and angry.

He spots it before I do now too. I used to know towards the end of the week before because I would be unusually annoyed at petty things.
but DH can tell me a few days before that as I start not picking things he does, says ect😂

Thank you so glad it’s made a positive difference for you both 😊 I’m going to look into it

@HeadsShouldersTitsandArse yep my husband is the same. I Feel sorry for him 😂

It was uncomfortable having it put in but my womb then tried to squeeze it out for a couple of weeks which was really painful. Like cocodamol level painful. But not constant. Still see definitely worth it.

I’ve no advice but I can certainly relate. I have a shit two weeks where I feel grumpy, can barely string together a sentence without falling over my words, I’m clumsy, irritable and just an overall ray of bloody sunshine. The other two weeks I’m sharp, focused, regulated, witty and present (tooting my own horn 💁🏼‍♀️). It’s bloody horrible and I actually structure quite abit around my monthly mood.

I’m currently in my shit two weeks.

The mirena coil is one of the best things that ever happened to me. My life used to be controlled by the roller coaster of emotions of my cycle… I miss the highs a bit…. But wouldn’t go back….

Sorry posted too soon…. It did take about 6 months to settle and I felt very tired for the first 12 weeks….. but now it’s fantastic
