Pms? 35+ ladies please answer.

I'm 47 and mine are now more sporadic and heavy. I alternate months where one month I barely feel pms at all, and the next month I want to decapitate people.

Mine have kind of changed. Since I was 28 or so I’ve gotten hormonal migraines- those are the worst. I’ve always gotten really sore boobs and a few zits. But I no longer get cramps, since having a baby 10 years ago.

I am sorry, hope you feel better soon.
Have a great vacation, or as good as you can.

No, never experienced that. Sounds more like you're in perimenopause.

I hated to complain about my pms because my periods aren’t bad 3-4 days. In all honesty my actual period is better than the week prior. This last cycle I had a weeks worth of sore breasts , nausea, headaches, and just general irritability. For those talking about supplements how do you take them? Daily or just before?

Id think that too if my periods weren’t like clockwork every month. I never ever have phantom symptoms. It’s just the actual days right before that’s horrible

Perimenopause you still will have them every month. It is just your body preparing for menopause.

I know but perimenopause doesn’t mean you will have consistent periods every month. When I went to my doctor a few months ago, she and I had a long discussion about the symptoms of perimenopause. One of the biggest is changes in your menstruatal cycle. My actual cycle hasn’t changed. The pms symptoms have.

I'm having the same crap right now, plus water retention. I can't even fully bend my fingers. It's been about a year and I still get worried every month. The logical part of me knows it's pms, but the hypochondriac in me screams I must be dying!
