How do you cope with PMS when TTC?

[SharyBobbins]

AF is due on Wednesday & I've been having my typical "period is on its way" symptoms for about a week as per usual. I'm just wondering how everyone else copes knowing that they're out so early on? Or just in general when PMS kicks in? I think I'd be less annoyed if my PMS started couple of days before AF so I could at least live in hope a little longer! I know some period symptoms are also signs of early pregnancy but I get really achey knees/legs when I'm due on which I'm pretty convinced isn't a sign of pregnancy. We've been TTC for 2 1/2 years now and were heading towards fertility treatment

Oh god, I understand what you mean!
I'm 2 days away from AF and have been having my usual symptoms: bursting out into tears, getting very angry and impatient, feeling bloated. I feel so angry and disappointed. This cycle I have been coping by eating a tonne of chocolate and guzzling a lot of wine!

Yep all of the emotions you've mentioned above! I actually want AF to come early as I seem to cope better emotionally when I'm actually on it as opposed to waiting for it!

AF got me today 😒 been trying for 3 months. I find it very frustrating because the last pregnancy happened by a total accident when i missed one of my pills. So now I'm actually trying is very frustrating and i get really down everytime AF comes. It's the waiting i hate the most. Once you get AF, it all starts again and then i end up counting down the days on the calender and it seems to make it drag even more. So when i get AF it's even more disappointing. This month I'm being strict, not testing until I'm due, and (trying) to not count down the days or symptom spot. X

sorry to hear AF arrived for you. TTC is bloody draining isn't it!

Yeah, im impatient too which doesn't help lol xx
