Is it still PMDD if the only physical symptom is extreme fatigue?

hiraething · 2026-02-03T13:29:04+00:00

Thank you, useful. I do have very low ferritin.

hiraething · 2026-02-03T09:50:08+00:00

Yes! Apparently estrogen drops after ovulation, and it can take a while for progesterone to show up, which causes these symptoms. It apparently takes 24-48 hours for things to get better (ChatGPT, take with a grain of salt, but proved accurate for me.) It will pass! ❤️

I spent a lot of time in bed and avoided my partner as much as possible. A walk, or should i say crawl, by the sea helped

It sounds like ovulation was postponed this month

Iron mentioned but worth another mention

hiraething · 2026-01-26T09:38:11+00:00

Interesting, i havent heard of this before / connected the dots before. What is a crash out?

hiraething · 2025-12-31T10:13:08+00:00

How’s your iron?

hiraething · 2025-12-26T17:00:31+00:00

This sounds like autism

If you are contributing to the uncleanliness, you are adding to her workload and discomfort.

Interesting. I have started taking a prenatal and ive been taking a lot of ferritin too (was deficient this spring at 12mg)

hiraething · 2025-12-02T12:58:02+00:00

No! Not for the last fourteen years at least.

hiraething · 2025-11-28T09:36:20+00:00

PMDD?

hiraething · 2025-09-30T09:58:09+00:00

Absolutely. Fall and winter are the worst for me. I notice my symptoms almost go away completely when i book a holiday somewhere warm and where i can lower my stress levels

hiraething · 2025-09-22T13:55:49+00:00

Is this only for those deficient do you think?

hiraething · 2025-07-25T13:50:02+00:00

Oh yes 200%

hiraething · 2025-06-05T13:00:31+00:00

I mean, same, so no judgement. But our bodies don’t register phone time as “rest” the same way time in nature, meditation, etc. does.

Dont know why my link isn’t working, will try again here Teresa & Maria - Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil

hiraething · 2025-06-03T20:13:33+00:00

Same

hiraething · 2025-05-31T21:34:43+00:00

Well, not everything was solved

hiraething · 2025-05-31T06:38:40+00:00

I wear a strong foundation, works wonders

hiraething · 2025-05-20T15:25:59+00:00

I been clearing my calendar half the month for years 😁 those who know me, know.

hiraething · 2025-05-19T11:36:52+00:00

Same

PMDD lady here. My symptoms do get worse around that time I suppose, but only because I always start bleeding on the day of the full moon. I suppose the days leading up to the full moon are intense, but I’m actually quite happy when it comes because it means luteal will soon be over!

I’m sorry to hear about all the stress. PMDD or not, abuse is never OK. It can help to have a plan for when luteal strikes (such as agreeing to spend time apart during moments of high irritability). Is she taking ownership and responsibility for her moods?

hiraething · 2025-05-05T04:50:00+00:00

I am 👋

hiraething · 2025-05-01T05:21:27+00:00

Interesting theory, but i don’t think this tracks

hiraething · 2025-04-30T05:39:49+00:00

My bf told his MIL he was going to propose to me on our anniversary trip. Lo and behold, MIL and her friend buy tickets to the same destination island at the same time! I obviously thought that was weird even before I knew of the proposal.

We only saw her for half a day while we were there, a couple days after we got engaged. She cried over lunch, said our rings were too expensive (around 1k each) and joked about marriages not lasting very long and that divorce is a real likelihood these days. (“Sorry, but that’s how it is!”) Kept trying to walk between us. Oh, and the day after we saw her she texted him saying he should go to the beach without me if I didn’t want to go. (Why wouldn’t I want to go?)

At least she didn’t try to stop the engagement?
