Prior to surgery aunt flow never really took much out of me, but since my surgery my PMS week has been a killer. more mood swings then im use to more cramps and pains then ive had before and coming a bit late and lasting longer. anyone else have these issues??

Not exactly sure, aunt flow came to visit a few days before my surgery and is refusing to leave.. GRR! Pain meds react weird in me so I'm not taking them now that the pain is tolerable and I am not sure if the cramps are due to aunt flow or mixed with surgery pain.

Yes! I was bawling my eyes out one minute and then was happy and laughing the next. I was never like that prior to surgery. Not to mention it's like Niagara Falls! I started taking birth control again to calm my hormones down. Hopefully, it helps.

oh im so happy its not just me!! lol ive been taking my birth control but i should probably more regular about taking it lol thanks

I should set an alarm, some days I'm so bad about taking it. @@Mia Eck

mines even worse cuz its nuva ring...it is literally the easiest birth control to have and i still forget to either take it out or put a new one back in after a week of having it out!! like the worse!!! lol

@@Mia Eck LOL you crack me up!

Set a reminder on your phone then! On repeat so you don't have to remember to set it.

I might try some other form of BC, taking pills is so lame.

oh there are several reminders. im pretty good at remember a day or so late which should effect it too much. i think what the real problem is is before i had a lot of "insulation" so the pains from my cramping was absorbed and now since theres not as much "insulation" i feel them more. cant really explain the mood swings though maybe im just going batty lol

Be careful about not taking the pills properly. In addition to the obvious risk of unintended pregnancy, I suspect my bad habit of forgetting pills and doubling up really screwed up my hormones and then I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism ... Don't know if it contributed but I know it made me feel like crap
