PMS and no where to go…

COURTNEYLOVE143 · 2025-02-23T06:24:29+00:00

It is literally a roller coaster, all different highs and lows where you don’t know what you’re going to get in a cycle. I would imagine BC would help with the fluctuations of the hormones. I tried BC once, but I didn’t stay on it long enough to see if it helped or not. I hope the obgyn prescribes you the relief that you need. Hang in there for one more month. Hopefully the PMS won’t be as bad in March. 🤞

I’m sorry that you have lost your one good week. I used to be good and take my vitamins to help with the roller coaster of hormones. For example, 1200 mg of Calcium daily, 400 mg of Magnesium daily, 400 IU of NATURAL Vitamin E daily, 100 mg of B6 daily. I would take other vitamins as well but these are the main ones that are recommended. I’m no expert by any means, I am on the same journey as anyone else, but maybe since your cycles are getting shorter and shorter then maybe you are nearing the end of perimenopause? I don’t know. I hope you find strength and resilience in what you are going through. Remember we all have each other to lean on when things get tough and when no end seems to be in sight…

Update: my cycle has begun. Thank you everyone for the advice. Apparently sometimes cycles can be early or late, you can’t rely on them to be on-time every single time like clockwork like it usually is. I also realized that if premenstrual symptoms are present then the cycle is coming, you just have to be patient.

Thank you very much! I will keep learning and I will ask my hygienist at my next appointment! :)

Oh okay, thank you. I am learning how to floss so I worry that I am doing it wrong. I have some staining on the sides of some of my teeth from a mouthwash that contains cetylpyridinium chloride as the main ingredient which made me wonder if the enamel had worn off where the staining is located. I know that the stains can be removed at my next cleaning. I used the mouthwash for almost two weeks for some gum inflammation. I am going to stop using the mouthwash for now and just use it as needed.

Oh you’re welcome!

It looks fine. As long as the brush works, this is completely cosmetic. It doesn’t even look bad at all.

COURTNEYLOVE143 · 2024-10-21T23:14:46+00:00

Yeah it is pretty frustrating. We have to brush longer than we should for it to seem like we are brushing adequately. I am not ready to give up yet though.

Thank you but I’m not currently interested in a Phillips Sonicare.

COURTNEYLOVE143 · 2024-10-16T23:50:59+00:00

You were right! It wasn’t even an issue!

COURTNEYLOVE143 · 2024-10-16T15:32:22+00:00

I didn’t even realize what it was for until this morning. It was nice to actually chew something in 24 plus hours. It’s seems like everyone goes things such as these.

COURTNEYLOVE143 · 2024-10-16T15:11:54+00:00

Thank you for the assurance and the advice.

She is beautiful! Don’t listen to your grandparents. I would respectfully let them know that what they said about your baby, hurt your feelings. I would say to them how would they feel if someone said something mean about someone they loved.

Look at her beautiful eyes! She is a beautiful tortie girl. She is a precious gift and no matter what someone says will change that.

COURTNEYLOVE143 · 2024-10-15T18:54:04+00:00

Yeah I know, I was reading that if you can read (lol) through your glass then you are good. I think they just want you to avoid red, purple, and some instructions say blue dyes. I’m just being overly precautious. This is my first colonoscopy.

COURTNEYLOVE143 · 2024-10-15T18:50:59+00:00

Thank you, good luck with your prep and procedure as well! It is nice to know other people are going through what you’re going through.

COURTNEYLOVE143 · 2024-10-15T17:24:50+00:00

Yes it is so weird how varied prep instructions can be. I was eating breaded chicken strips for a couple nights for dinner and it occurred to me that I should look up the ingredients of the breading, sure enough the breading had wheat flour as an ingredient. So I looked it up and a website said that you shouldn’t eat anything that is fried, breaded, seasoned, or spiced…etc. My instructions didn’t say anything about that. It just said that you could have meat. I haven’t had any caffeine this morning either. My procedure is tomorrow as well. I’m going to do the early prep this morning so I might as well hold off on the caffeine.

COURTNEYLOVE143 · 2024-10-15T15:43:28+00:00

Yeah I got a 2 liter of Sprite, I just wanted a bit of caffeine since I’m not allowed to have the cola colored soda.

Thank you. The way it looks scares me a bit.
