I suffer with awful pms, is there anything that would stop that hormonal part of the month happening?

Hi, any progesterone only contraception might stop your periods (progesterone only pills such as cerazette, Noriday or Norgeston, the depo provera injection, the implant or the hormonal intra uterine system which would be either mirena or Jaydess) however there is never any guarantees and with any of these you could have no periods, regular periods, irregular bleeding (bleeding all over the place - like two days off 7 on and so on) or prolonged (continuos and constant bleeding) for the duration of use. In my experience and from what many dr’s have said the implant is the worst one for this. I really think everyone is different and there is no way to know until you try them. Hope this helps x

My sister suffered badly for years with PMS and now has the coil and I believe it is much better.

Natural cycles...why flood your body with additional hormones??

User2929 - I get awful PMT au naturel. I have just started taking cerazette to try and alleviate the symptoms

It seems illogical to add hormones as a cure for pmt though but I'm happy to be corrected as contraceptives are known to be mood altering. Agnus castus is genuinely good for pmt.

@user2929 I need some kind of additional hormones to prevent pregnancy.
