Question 1

what causes pms symptoms to stop 5 days before period is due?

Accepted Answer

Hormonal fluctuation: It’s hormonal levels that rise and drop that cures these mood swings .

Question 2

do people ever get pms symptoms 12 days before period is due?

Accepted Answer

YES: Usually pms symptoms occur within the last 5-8 days premenstrually, however, occasionally,  we do see people with prolonged pms symptoms spanning over 12 days , there is treatment available. 
Feel better and good luck.

Question 3

usually have pms before period. this month i have no pms symptoms. period expected in 7 days. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

PMS ?: PMS is caused by the sudden drop in estrogen at the time of ovulation or just prior to the period. If no PMS occurred, it may be a failure to ovulate, or perhaps pregnancy.  With pregnancy, there is no drop in estrogen.  Get a serum HCG level if your period does not occur (get the test about a week after your period is due).

Question 4

is clear watery discharge normal before period starts? period supposed to start 2 days ago but has not. been having pms symptoms. virgin

Accepted Answer

Watery discharge: Watery discharge may be normal. See your gynecologist for a possible culture and treatment for your pms.

Question 5

period was 5 days late & came on the 6th day. had both pms & pregnancy symptoms way before period was due..baby maybe & when should i take a pt test?

Accepted Answer

Period=no pregnancy: You may still want to visit a Womens Clinic or OBGYN to have an exam but most importantly to get lots of info. You need to know more about your reproductive health and how to protect it well. There's lots you'll learn and all will make you have a better life - I really mean it! It's nearly certain you're not pregnant yet, but that can change!

Question 6

would it be unhealthy to have pms symptoms before period while on the pill?

Accepted Answer

It is not 'normal': Most women do not suffer pms so i don't think you'd consider it 'normal' under any circumstance. Some women with painful and/or emotionally intense symptoms the week before they bleed, diagnosed with pms, will improve once they start bc pills to help better regulate the hormones. But, that may not be the whole story as there could also be a problem with neurotransmitters, like serotonin, in pms.

Question 7

can pms come two weeks before period? like nausea and is car sickness a symptom of pms?

Accepted Answer

: The definition of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a combination of physical &amp; emotional symptoms recurring regularly 2 weeks before menses. Nausea is a symptom. If you’re already nauseous, being in the car may just be exacerbating it. PMS is treatable with a combination of medical &amp; alternative treatments. Please speak with your PCP.

Question 8

what can cause a lack of pms symptoms before period? next period expected in 6 days. had a light late 7 day spotty period last month.

Accepted Answer

A lack of PMS?: In general the absence of negative or unpleasant symptoms such as PMS is not a cause for concern. If you think you might be pregnant check then check a home pregnancy test. If you are wanting more menstrual cycle control consider discussing options with your obgyn. If you typically suffer from PMS there are multiple treatment options available

Question 9

have had pms symptoms two weeks before period. now suddenly my symptoms have stopped. period due in a day or two. what causes the sudden lack of pms?

Accepted Answer

PMS symptoms: "PMS" is caused by sudden drops in estrogen, as in just prior to ovulation and just prior to one's menstrual period.  This does usually not occur prior to ovulation unless two eggs simultaneously are matured, and the estrogen "drop" is magnified, giving rise to PMS symptoms, which vanish as the estrogen production is resumed after ovulation.

Question 10

is there anything i can do/take to reduce pms symptoms? preferably natural. i get very depressed, moody and irritable always one week before period.

Accepted Answer

Exercise &amp; nutrition: PMS symptoms can be lessened by exercise during that time frame and avoidance of caffeine and theobromine (chocolates).  Minimizing sodium intake can also decrease bloating.
