PMS and arguments

Does anybody else argue with their DP every time a period is due?

It's started to irritate me. Every month I get snappy.
I'm due in 2 days, but the past week I've been a spotty, grumpy mess.

I snapped as he's going on a holiday with his friends and that it feels he always puts the boys first. This caused a huge argument.

The thing is, I haven't been bothered by this until last night when I got this feeling of uncontrollable rage about him going away for a week when we haven't been away for 3 years. We do have a holiday planned in summer for a few days though.

I've felt awful after it and apologised. But I still feel grumpy and just wishing the period to come.

Any tips for handling this?
We have no children together and I don't want to lose him to this once a month grumpiness I feel

I take the combined pill and don’t have periods or any PMS symptoms.

I’m not sure whether this works for everyone, but is it something you would consider?

Currently just using condoms as I was originally on the pill but thought that what was making me moody, but a year later im still feeling grumpy. I can feel it coming at the exact same time every month

Yasmin pill was life changing for me. Other contraceptive pills made me worse.

You can speak with your GP to see if they can try you on another one.

I got this sooo bad. Now I take sertraline just for that week and it's helped a lot. Have to speak to GP though and I don't know if it works for everyone!
