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!

    Im fairly lucky! About 5 days like clockwork, give or take a day...hypersensitive! A puppy commercial will come on featuring one bounding through the grass & I'll be mesmerized by the beauty of life. HAHA. *grabs a cupcake*

    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.

    Yeah, I did forget to mention that lately mine have been going for about 10 days, so if that helps at all in the hating me department, that does seem fair that I don't get the other symptoms. Now, please pass the wine bottle, preferably red if you have it!

    Typically I go through it 3-5 days. My periods are 4-7. I also don't get the decreased sex drive. If anything it is increased.

    A good week for me but my sex drive increases. Even during my TOM my drive is more than normal but I feel gross so I don't act on it...VERY frustrating which doesn't help the moodiness aspect.

    When I was younger I had the most horrible periods. Intense cramps and couldn't keep anything down the first day. After having my daughter, they are so much better. The only thing now is that I get hornier lol. The closer I get to the day the worse it gets. After it passes, I'm back to normal again and don't even think about sex. That is how I can tell my period is coming. No real moodiness or cravings thankfully.

    Starting to feel a bit better here.......

    Good thing is my libido is typically through the roof so this is like a break for us. :laugh: Although I do lay on my back a few times during this time because I tend to freak out if we go more than a few days without hittin it, then all hell breaks loose.

    :drinker: Wine all around!
