A member asked:
I am on birth control and i've been getting pms like symptoms for the past 3 weeks. is this normal and what could be causing it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not PMS: Pms is a very specific syndrome where the drop in the hormones right before you have a cycle causes these symptoms. Pms would not happen for 3 weeks while on birth control hormone. Schedule a visit with a primary care doc and investigate other causes.
