I do still suffer mild bouts of PMS. Usually it's just all the weird food cravings and ravenous appetite. Thankfully I no longer get the irats but have been told that the short temper etc will return once I hit menopause.<br /><br />Oh what a joy it is being a woman.<br /><br />ps. only new to your blog but promise to come back.

She said it is more than likely safe for even longer but has not been researched yet. Obviously not all women find skipping their periods in this manner effective or appropriate for them, but its a lifesaver for me :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-56732053629235606512010-04-18T08:01:49.251+10:002010-04-18T08:01:49.251+10:00April, I'm assuming you mean the pill with no ...April, I'm assuming you mean the pill with no breaks = no period comment? I think it depends who you are. If I skip the sugar pills, then I just end up with really nasty breakthough bleeding for a large portion of the next month. Other people don't have that problem though. Also, doctors recommend having a period every four months, minimum, because it's not particularly good for your body to constantly be ingesting hormones for extended periods. Plus, there are things that can go wrong and the first symptom is skipping a period, which you obviously won't notice if you never have them.Cerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17151039614428544470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-62158130929626505652010-04-17T22:59:41.884+10:002010-04-17T22:59:41.884+10:00hey, I think we've all been hanging on Twitter...hey, I think we've all been hanging on Twitter and in Blogsville for too long cos all our grumpies iz synced up. <br /><br />I too have had the week from hell.

In the olden days ....just before my period I could keep my PMT at bay by not wearing woollen jumpers with pollo necks (do you call them pollo necks in Sydney?) and by not wearing woollen trousers and definetely no woollen scarves.<br /><br />At the best of times I didn't like wearing wool cos it made me itchy and scratchy but just before my period I found that if I was wearing wool I wanted to tear the clothes off my body and strangle someone with my woollen trousers. <br /><br />The thing is I then became almost phobic about wearing wool at other times too. And I didn't put my children in pure wool jumpers or trousers either. Needless to say they all developed my wool phobia.<br /><br />Otherwise I think I was perfectly normal. Never wanted to stab anyone with a knife but I have to admit there was this one time that I imagined lopping off someone's head.Nana Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-86152225888313141182010-04-16T20:51:38.030+10:002010-04-16T20:51:38.030+10:00Ange, that may be the best joke I've ever hear...Ange, that may be the best joke I've ever heard. It has the entire family in hysterics. The dog thinks we've totally lost it.<br />I used to get epic PMS, where I would cry at ANYTHING. I actually cried for 5 minutes because I snapped a hairband doing my hair for school one morning. I had about 20 other school regulation hairbands on the dresser next to me, too. And I got pretty much every physical symptom imaginable, too. Then I went on the pill, and 99% of it went away. The pill is the most wonderful invention in the world. It really is.Cerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17151039614428544470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-87613816972289723882010-04-16T20:21:23.781+10:002010-04-16T20:21:23.781+10:00That was, in a nutshell, PRICELESS.

Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out.And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to find the #&%!* light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CABINET for the past 17 YEARS! But if they did, by some miracle of God, actually find them, 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE FREAKING LIGHT BULBS CAME IN!!! BECAUSE NO ONE EVER PICKS UP OR CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATEDFROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!!

I have just had THE MOTHER of all PMT, and I totally challenge you to top it (because yes, that's the kind of mood I'm in too *stares defiantly*...) You are about to hear more than you ever needed to know about my bodily functions (but you started it!)<br />I have had three menstrual cycles in the past (count 'em) 4 and a half years (in between weaning one kid and falling pregnant with the next). My last period was in August 2007 (until now).Yes you read correctly. Between being pregnant and breastfeeding (which completely stops my periods until I wean the child) I've been basically period-free. Hurrah. But the downside is, that I am currently attempting to wean my reluctant toddler off the breast, while suffering from a double-whammy oxytocin-withdrawal/ 2yearbrewing PMT situation. There must be a rehab clinic for people like me. Surelypleasegod. I'm going off to punch a pillow now.Sarah (Maya_Abeille)http://www.alextheseal.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-70538467367865270502010-04-15T19:10:18.895+10:002010-04-15T19:10:18.895+10:00I woke up grumpy this morning.
