And I know I will get some men on here or some women that don't want to discuss "TMI" things so a disclaimer: I don't give a....well you know.... and I don't want to get banned for saying naughty words on MFP. :smokin: so.......

How many days before your period so you get PMS? 10 days here. Yep, 10 glorious days on the dot of cravings, moodiness, anxiety, and decreased sex drive. It's lovely really.

How about you?

    i'm only about half that.....usually only 4 or 5 days for me. I don't really get the moodiness so much but the cravings are a beast!

    Ok, don't hate me, but except for the occasional increase in appetite, I don't get PMS. No moodiness, no decreased sex drive. My boyfriend loves it, honestly! I do, however, suffer from hormonal migraines, which sucks, but even those are getting less frequent since I've been exercising more. I'm hoping this is a sign of things to come for how menopause will be, and that I haven't been saving it all up for that. If so, I may find myself suddenly single again. :laugh:

    So sorry to hear about your troubles. Enjoy the wine. Maybe it will help. :flowerforyou:

    That's what a few people have said, and that's what I'm hoping. Please don't hate. Share the goodies. Especially the wine! :drinker:

    I will get the increase in hunger for about a week beforehand. Moodiness and being tired only about 3 days prior. It used to be a lot worse and that is why I have been on BC pills forever, they help mellow me out a bit.

    I'm pretty lucky in that department nothing changes for me until the day of. Which sucks because I have to track it so I'm not caught off guard. I have no change in mood appetite or anything. Its just one day I'm hanging out I feel a cramp and BOOM there she is fully blast in her monthly glory.

    Ok so don't hate me, and please share the cupcakes if they are chocolate! I only have about two days of pms, and it's usually so mild I don't notice. I get a little irritable and a little more hungry but still have no problems with my calories. However the flip side is, mine runs for 7-10 days full force and the cramps are horrible!! So I guess it evens out. Now pass me a glass of wine please!!

    About 3 days before for me.
    I just turn a fan on, get naked and throw my legs in the air.

    I'm in, but have you got rye? And maybe some pizza? How about cookies? I start at about a week before and it gets nastier and nastier every day until one day I'll realize something's wrong with everyone in the entire f---ing world (myself excepted) and will cease weeping and slowly start to ease up on the sugar salt fat cravings.
