Hey Everyone,
Has anyone experienced PMS symptoms a day or more after their period ended? I havent had much sleep the past 2 nights and the past 3 days i have cried a bit.
You may have a hormone imbalance, have you ever got your hormone levels checked?
i have not had my hormones checked. yeah I havent been able to sleep a full 2 nights and thinsgs like that. I’ve kinda struggled with insomnia ever since 2017 so its been like 2 and a half years on and off. So i’m not sure if the insomnia and a bit of the crying is a Post menstral syndrome thing or what.
I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and my hormones definitely affect my sleep pattern and mood. Certain times of the month my body heats up and I can get very anxious as well as a bit depressed.
I don’t know if you keep a period diary, if not you can get one from the app store you can get free ones. I have one called period tracker, you put in the date of when your period starts and finishes every month and they can tell you roughly the dates when you are ovulating and when your next period is due. You can also make a note of how you are feeling or symptoms you get so you can see a pattern of when you get depressed, anxious or can’t sleep. I get palpitations or a faster than normal heartbeat when I am ovulating. I also sometimes get acne at certain times.
