Has anyone else...

in Trying to Get Pregnant

"Outgrown" pms symptoms?  I used to get such severe cramps that I was bedridden for up to 2 days at a time.  Was on BC for 10 years because of them.  

The past few cycles, however, have presented NO signs of AF (although she comes every CD26 without fail).  

So all I can think is that I've outgrown pms (no complaints there!).  My only issue with this is that since I'm TTGP I get hopeful that AF will be a no show since I never have any signs she's coming :o(

 Anyone else have this issue?

    My pms symptoms are much less severe than in high school as well. I still have cramps, headaches, and moodiness, but not nearly as bad as before I went on BCP. I did however forget how bad that pms sucks. I hadn't had a period since before I got KU with DS. It was kind of a shock going through all of it again.

    Same here, in high school I was literally crying with pain.  I think it's a combination of many factors, none of which I am complaining about! :)  But last cycle, my third off BCP, I had some severe cramping like back in high school...grrr.

    I was on BC for 4 years. I have noticed that I hardly ever get cramps anymore with AF. Although, I am cramping now so I am thinking AF is on her way. Who knows. I have heard alot of people who had less cramping when they came off BC.

    I had very heavy flow and some pretty significat cramps as a teen. Now, after 10 years of BCPs, I have very minor achiness and my flow is very similar to what it was on BCPs. I don't know if I've "outgrown" PMS, but I'll take it.

    I was on BCPs for 12 years (mainly because I thought if I ever stopped it would be miserable!).  I was pleasantly surprised after stopping in January that everything stayed "normal" for me.  Last month I had some crazy cramping and was pretty miserable though.  I sure hope that was a fluke and not my new normal!!
