It can be a challenge. The hardest part is managing the mood swings. However generally it is individual. I only PMS 3 days before. During that time I try to avoid too sappy or sad things. I avoid setting longer dates and give out a good warning about what time of month may be rising (I actually put it on my calendar) Embarrassing? absolutely. However it allows gentlemen to make an informed decision.
Generally PMS is less the problem than the actual monthly. Bloating can be controlled with a variety of medications available. mood swings are hard to predict but generally you can feel it coming on.
I simply try to wall myself up and hide (for the safety of everyone else) during the worst of it all. Originally Posted by JayceeRivers

Some of us don't get periods. The depo shot is the greatest thing that ever happened to me. No more curse for me. Well, I haven't been on it a year yet, so I still get sporadic, unexpected breakthroughs, but far less often than monthly, and they will likely get less and less frequent until they stop completely. Yay for modern medicine! Originally Posted by CarolineDavenport+1000
