I don't have PMDD, but I can't take hormonal birth control. If my moods are hard to deal with now, birth control makes them 100 times worse. I got a non-hormonal IUD (Paragard) after my daughter was born, but that is no help for PMDD. I had the IUD removed to try to have another child, and wouldn't you know? We couldn't get pregnant again. Both of us got tested, and they couldn't find a reason. Secondary infertility. It happens. Maybe it's even something genetic. My maternal grandmother was born during the Great Depression; her parents were sharecroppers, and she was an only child. In those days, it was almost unheard of to have just one child, especially if you were poor.

I got all moody both halfway through my cycle (around ovulation) and then again near the start of my period. I have lately been having 21 day cycles.
Poor H, I'm always on my period, moody with ovulations or having PMS
