Thread: that time of the month

When you have your cycle, do you have snarly moods? or feelings on your sleeve? I know I did. My best friend told me she never had those moody feelings. I have a daughter who has a rough time. She has a stressful job, came home crying 2 days this week and called in sick today. Every month isn't this bad, but occassionally they are.

I have been done for a while, and I can honestly say that I do not miss it at ALL. Yes, I had bad moods, and felt terrible. It is awful what women have to go thru.

I would ask your best friends husband if she's moody before that time of the month.

Yes, I get moody, my husband knows exactly whats going on, it drives me nuts. He'll say "We'll just see 9 days from now." and he's always right!

Right before also. I could murder someone for saying the wrong thing to me. I am just starting hormone therapy. Been only five days so far... so we will see what next month brings.

I can tell you that if I could not afford the co-pay the guys I work with would take up a collection because I go from 0 to witch in a nanosecond. I started doing the Depo since I would get cramps so bad in my lower back that I could hardly sit at my desk without good pain killers.

Did you gain weight with the depo? My daughter used it for about a year and finally had to quit it because she was averaging about 5 extra pounds a month. every month. It was adding up quick.

Are you just using the creams?
I asked my doctor about it and he prescribed a cream, but I never got the script filled. I worry too much about side-effects.

No actually she gave me a type of birth control pill for the hormones I needed. Very expensive though.
45 years old, had my tubes tied about 17 years ago and I am on birth control pills. Crazy!

I was never moody with my periods. That was saved for menopause. I can't use HRT because of my heart problem so it's full on flashes and moods with no intervention. Ugh.
