    moodiness, anxiety, and decreased sex drive.

    Congratulations! When did you get married?

    However the flip side is, mine runs for 7-10 days full force!! So I guess it evens out. Now pass me a glass of wine please!!

    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!

    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?

    ~Sets a tray of chips and salsa and cupcakes out on the table. And wine~

    I'm 10 days too!!!!! YAY it's not just me!!!!!

    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!

    Mine comes in 2 separate stages.

    I get bloating and abdominal heaviness about a day or so before ovulation (meaning, 3-5 days after the cycle ends), that lasts for a good 3 days. Then I'm good for about 5 days. Then I start getting CRAZY. Crave chocolate by the fist full, hungry like ALL the time, irritable beyond belief.

    I probably have 11 good days out of my 25 day cycle.

    But, I keep telling myself that it's better than being bed ridden for 2 days high on midol because of awful cramps. At least now people just think I'm a b***h instead of lazy.

    A week right before the period and its depression. I am always so relieved when I start my period because it's like the hormones click into place and I feel good.
