He was very relieved, until I made him help me shop for birth control (or does he just want to go get snipped?).<br /><br />Eventually, we decided on an IUD that puts out tiny amounts of hormones directly into my uterus. TMI? But wait!<br /><br />1) My period is now super duper light, one two two days, and I can use the light pads.<br />2) My PMS has evaporated. Of course, I am a bitch a lot of the time, so I am not sure this is completely obvious outside of me, but still. I feel better on the inside, and that's all that counts.<br />Leauxrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16056708620380337471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-25828633088482390672012-12-11T10:49:21.897-05:002012-12-11T10:49:21.897-05:00I read it!!!!!

Many women suffer their entire lives with PMDD and never known the origin of their symptoms. <br /><br />Diet and exercise? F@#$ing life-lines. <br /><br />You are right about the kid's radar.

I have never had PMDD. I get PMS and improving my diet has helped. When I weighed more, my cramps were worse and period was heavier. But, that could be related to my diet and not so much weight.
