women have a monthly cycle, but men actually have a daily cycle.  It is run on testosterone and runs highest around 3PM or so and lowest around 8PM. Notice how most men seem to be more mellow at night and agitated in the afternoon?  That is why.

Stress as well as not eating enough, eating the wrong foods or too much exercise can also affect your period.\nAlso, if you have a roommate, studies have shown that when some girls live together their periods sync up. Weird huh?

Ok, for starters, guys don't get PMS. They go thrugh puberty but only girls experience PMS

I just had  baby, so I know what you mean with the weird hormone stuff. What I found works is to find a time to talk to him when you are not PMSing. Find a way for him to nicely let you know that you are making him mad/sad. Make sure that you won't be insulted or hurt by the way that he tells you. ie: don't say shut up/ your a b**** or anything like that. Then take a moment to go to another room, even if it's just the bathroom and breathe. Don't think about it and try to relax, meditate, or whatever works for you. After you have taken a bit of time away, you will probably feel better and be able to see the situation in a whole new perspective. This will also prevent you from further hurting your husband's feelings.

It's not really a normal part of PMS more like a symptom of PND (Pre-menstural Depression).  There are various strategies for coping with it many of which are diet or vitamin/mineral based.  The link below will be able to tell you much, much more...\n\nGood Luck.

I'll worn you, I'm a guy, so I don't know from experience.  I have though, listened and asked many questions of my female friends.\n\nIt is common to be 'stressed' during your period.  My 24 year old girlfriend is almost always stressed, but I think she brings part of it on herself (your hormones are in flux, and you can't help that).  My female friends that are the happiest are the ones that accept and embrasse their periods, they think it's great that they get to bare children and guys don't.  It's all about attitude.\n\nAs for your flow, the amount varies A LOT.  One of my friends simply 'spots' your underwear, but another one has so much flow that she's gone into the hospital because she was scared (they sent her home).  The same female states that on her worst days she gets light headed.\n\nThe below link says 3-7 days is expected.  As for reducing the flow, I can't help.\n\nRead Rites of Passage in the below link.\n\nhttp://www.factmonster.com/ipka/A0906923.html\n\nOh, and when you get older and get out of this culture that wants to keep everything a secret, you'll talk openly with your friends about it.\n\nGood luck and congratulations.

I pretty much just have to warn my husband that I am PMS'y, lol. I get extremely mean as well. It has taken years, but I finally can say im sorry right after I say something mean. It really does make me and him feel better. It's humiliating, but if you can say sorry right after the meanness, it makes for a much happier life and you won't have everyone mad at cha!

Are you hoping that you are?  I am in a similar situation and am hopeful (or deluded) every month when my period is a little late, my breasts swell and I get nauseous and moody much like pregnancy symptoms but it turns out that it is just PMS.  It could be a psychosomatic type of thing.

It's all thanks to those hormones that cause PMS and all that other fun stuff. It's completely normal, nothing to worry about. Just take it with a grain of salt and deal with it just like you deal with your period. If it bothers you too much, take a pain reliever.

yes. I find it very strange. I work with the same girl everyday and since I got on birth control her cycle is getting closer to mine every month. I wish it didn't work that way b/c its really hard to get along when we are both PMSing at the same time.

Pms? or you're experiencing depression, talk to a doctor.

It may just be a reaction to the hormones.  Same thing happened to a friend of mine who is on the pill.

Maybe pregnant. Or could be a lil left over from your cycle.

i have the same thing, it is your nerves that is why it comes out that way. your period messes up your nerves from the cramping and just the whole period cycle just screws it all up, it is like that for me, there is nothing you can do about it. it does not mean anything is wrong with you at all. but if you realy want to know more go see your doctor. good luck.

I am thinking that with most things--everyone reacts differently.  Mine took probably two years, if I remember correctly.  You might have a period and no more for two--three months, then another period and no more for 6 months.  The hormonal imbalance can also vary.  Some breeze right through it and others--it can be a real problem.  (emotional ups and downs and hot flashes)  Good luck.
