Yes: It's a little longer time period than some, but your symptoms could still represent pms. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (pmdd) is a more severe version of this syndrome. Maybe track your symptoms carefully for a few months and see your family or gyn physician. There are several free symptom trackers online: ww.Pfizerpro.Com/resources/specialties/docs/zoloft_pe_symptom_tracker.Pdf.

ACTUALLY YES : > (: Premenstrual symptoms can occur in three patterns: the classic week before your period, a spike at mid cycle when ovulation occurs and then again before your period, or all the way from mid cycle to your period. Has to do with the hormonal shifts from estrogen to progesterone. Keep a calendar and track the period over three months to see if a true pattern emerges. If serious enough lots of treatm.
