Question 1

cough, nose congestion, fatigue, appetite, moodiness, breats are bigger, three days till period. could i be pregnant? no pms symptoms yet.

Accepted Answer

Possible: But pregnancy symptoms aren't usually present until you actually miss your period. Take a home pregnancy test if you miss your period. Take care.

Question 2

period started 21/4,ended 26/4,had sex on 7 may(once using condoms,once unprotected but he came outside), feeling now on 11th pain in lower belly,sadness, moodiness,&feeling like vagina pulled down also i take clenbuterol 40 mcg, pregnancy or pms?

Accepted Answer

: Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine and follow instructions for the test carefully.

Question 3

how can i get rid of the moodiness that comes with pms without using drugs?

Accepted Answer

Change diet/exercise: Decrease intake of fats, salt and sugar during this time and increase intake of complex carbohydrates.  Six small meals rather than 3 larger meals will keep your blood sugar level more consistent.

Calcium 1200mg/d and magnesium each day may improve mood and decrease swelling.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol.

Aerobic exercise 30min/d.

Question 4

even if you're on birth control pills for 3 years, can u still get pms symptoms like increased hunger, fatique, moodiness, etc a week or two before?

Accepted Answer

Sure: Birth control is very good at helping with PMS symptoms but does not help everyone. Extended cycle or continuous birth control pills are better than others.

Question 6

on my 3rd month of birth control and seemingly randomly suffering pms symptoms (sensitive breasts, moodiness, etc.), duration 5 days. why/how to fix?

Accepted Answer

Birth control: My first concern would be that of the "right birth control  pill". Check with your doctor and ask if there is another bcp that may be more helpful since the currrent one is not working as you expected. It might take a few weeks to get used to it.However, still talk about other options and breast pain and moodiness. Also, a mood stabilizer might be helpful such as an antidepressant.

Question 7

my daughter is 14 and her pms is getting worse as she gets older. headaches, fatigue , moodiness and acne breakouts start a solid 2 weeks before she even gets it. what can she do that will make a difference? vitamins?

Consider OCP:  Consult with your physician. Sometimes young ladies are prescribed oral contraceptives to help regulate menstrual symptoms.

Question 8

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.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

No, it occurs before: Your period. But a person can sometimes have lingering period symptoms after their period ends.
