Sick of feeling sick, hormones?

[katkin73]

I've been feeling sick whilst on my period and around ovulation time for a few months, periods are slightly more painful and get IBS type symptoms both at ov time and period time. SOOO fed up, is it just part of being a woman and getting older (39) and any miracle cures? I don't really want to try hormone type contraceptives and their additional side effects, would vits/herb remedies help?
Cheers

Could be part of getting older, I've found pms gets worse and periods more irregular. I have however been taking multi vitamins and omega oils religiously and found a significant improvement. There was a thread on here about ttc and it reminded me how taking a B vit complex had helped (regulates hormones) before I had DCs and guessed the same might be an issue now. It's worked for me. I did stop taking then regularly (cost and got out of the habit) and noticed a deterioration in mood etc so been back on them since Christmas and once again much improved.
