i am wondering if they are linked?

my cycles have gone back to 34/35 days and from days 28-34 i could kill!!!!

could this be due to the longer cycle?

hideous pms when I'm hideous to everyone

interestinga bout the long cycles, I have been sort of wondering when mine is turning up, seems to be a long time coming. I stopped noticing once my dh had the snip. hmmmmm (goes off to calculate)

hmmmm I reckon my lmp was about 3/4 may
so that is quite a long cycle isn't it

I always used to be bang on 28 days, but 4 pregs has screwed that right up

mind you I have just noticed a huge zit on my forehead (I get one a month, it moves around a bit) - so I predict my period will turn up between 10 and 2 tomorrow!

that will be 31/32 days then

PrincessPeaHead · 03/06/2007 21:36

Otter · 03/06/2007 21:36

Yes - 33/34 day cycles and hideous pmt - not at moment as just had ds3 - but dreading it coming back - considering merina coil thingy - anyone know if it could help?

octo · 03/06/2007 21:38

and - it was worse on the pill as seemed to be grumpy from day 4-8 aswell!!!

SlightlyMadSlug · 03/06/2007 21:40

I am 35-36 days but don't consider that I have ever suffered PMS.

Otter · 03/06/2007 21:40

i tink any hprmone treatment - would help

have you ever tried those things that are meant to work like evening primrose oil and (i think) vit b6 and omega whatsits?

evening primrose did make me feel better pms-wise but made me fart so uncontrollably I couldn't hack it

haven't tried anything else, when I'm in the middle of it I'm too cross to think of it, and when I'm out of it I forget what a bitch I was

PrincessPeaHead · 03/06/2007 21:45

ooooh no I was much worse on mirena coil

surprising really since they go on about how little hormone there is, but it seriously made an adverse difference. took it out

Otter · 03/06/2007 21:46

lol - have tried evening primrose but i am not a good supplement taker!!

worse following each child i am sure

OP posts:
Otter · 03/06/2007 21:47

gosh - thanks for that re coil

i dread being 'aware' of hormones which is why i steer clear of the pill

i had a mirena coil for 3 weeks and it was like having PMS constantly but 100 times worse.i had what i thought was a period when i had it but have had nothing since-6 weeks and counting.

i had a baby 12 weeks ago and have been so looking forward to the arrival of af but the mirena coil has seriously messed things up.

consequently,i have had PMT for 4 weeks now.

i used to have a 26 day cycle pre-dd2,but i still suffered horrendous PMT then,so for me it wasnt to do with cycle length.

Otter · 03/06/2007 21:55

not fair is it diva - apt name though!

Otter · 03/06/2007 21:58

want tablets to cure me
