please i thought i could rely on you lot to help me

hi Trace I think lavendar oil or tablets are meant to be good. Or is it Oil of Primrose? You could ask in Holland and Barrett if you have one. Poor you

Evening Primrose Oil, Vitamin B6, Agnus Castus? Eating carbs regularly? There's a writer called Maryon Stewart who has written about controlling PMT through diet.

Aha Evening Primrose Oil - that was the one I was tryign to remember!

am already taking angus catus and Oil of Primrose? and bs vitamins, i never had it like this whats cauing it? i just hope am not going through change, its just not like me am sat here crying thinking you stuid woman, but i carny stop. its first time in a year that i carnt wait for af to come

do you think it may be caused by ttc? The stress of it?

I took a chinese herb called Dong Quai, you get it from health food shops. It was very good.

Also NO caffeine and very little sugar - in fact the GI diet is great for PMT. And all other mild depressin remedies - excercise, healthy food, not too much alcohol and lots of sleep.

the only thing am not doing with what you said is Dong Quai, so i am going this afternoon to get some. whats it do?

Dong Quai

its a link, did you click on it?

no thanks will do now, mt brain is not in gear

trace2- I too suffered really badly with PMT some years ago. I had acupuncture and found it was fantastic.

Maybe worth a try.

i hope this is a one off, other wise i am gona have to do something

poor you. Have you been to see the doctor? Perhaos he could do a blood test or something to reassure you that it's just PMT?

my gp thinks i shouldnt be trying at my age, it was a locum what sent me for blood tests last week to see if am ovulating

have you had the results back yet? How old are you (sorry, can't remember! - don't answer if too nosey a question!!)

had one they said normal ,but i understand that they have to mesure day 3 and day19 togther, so it will be 13feb i found out, no i dont mind am 39 40 in april, i was wondering if going thruogh change

This is a useful website

PMS

It is a dreadful thing - I had never suffered a day of PMT till I had the bloody mirena coil inserted. They took it out 3 months later and it has left me with dreadful PMT (not mood swings but all the physical symptoms) and dreadful menstrual migraines.

Have a read of the site because it has some quite useful diet info and other natural things to do to try and help some of the symptoms. Much sympathy to you though.

thank you, i will lokok now

Fox - I suffered after the Mirena as well. and they said it'd be fine.

Trace2 - I tried Primrose vit B5 or whatever and all that stuff, but you have to take so much of it and it can take 8 weeks to get into your system to have any effect even then it may be so slight it's not noticeable.

I went to my GP who after a lengthy discussion put me back on the pill and I've been about 90% PMT free since then. Will say however if you're already on the pill then it's worth changing it to see if it's that, I had to come off celeste in my early 20's as it was causing depression.

not taking anything been ttc for 12 months
