Anyone else ridiculously sensitive before and around period?

Every month I am a bit of a mental mess around my period. Although I try and cover it up.

I get particularly pissed with certain colleagues at work and feel like I want to hide away from the school mums to avoid conversation etc. DH also drives me mad.
Then when I've been on for a few days, voila! I'm fine again.

I just find it mad how intense it is for me, like I almost get paranoid and feel people are intentionally being twats, when on a good day I would let it blow over me!

I was like that last period, the day before I was so angry at DH. this month, nothing it caught me by surprise, but it was an unusually calm few days. I've recently come off the minipill as being on that made me feel quite angry. But in not so used to the up and down of periods.

I'm on Lucette which I have been for 3 months. Started taking it to hopefully improve PMS mostly as well as a contraception. Not sure it's working!
