I get mild cold symptoms (runny nose, fatigue) some months for a day or two before. Weird, huh? And I always get a headache the 12-24 hours before. After I get my period, I get cramps. Sometimes, I get super hungry for a day or so. To the point of nausea? No. But I am very familiar with morning sickness. Take a pregnancy test.

as much as pms & periods can seem and feel like pregnancy, you sound pregnant!!

I get awful migraines too. Before my toddler I use to get big pimples and bad stomach pain, sometimes even vomit. I think it was hormonal and some how after the baby I only get migraines and kind of mean. Oh I just remember, sometimes I feel extremely bloated and weird stomach feeling, but not always.
anyway, let's know if it is " something" else, wink, wink ;0)

I would say that it sounds like your hormones are messed up somehow. Pregnancy or something. Take a test.

I was lucky... I had my first period when I was a junior in high school, and NEVER any PMS. The only way I could tell was because I was bleeding. :) After I had my DD, that has definitely changed. I get horrible cramps about 2-3 days before I'm due to start, I bloat, and I get pretty bitchy. Poor hubby used to laugh and tell me how lucky he was to have found the only woman who doesn't PMS... until I had her. Now he just stays out of my way.

Sounds like pregnancy to me, is that what you are thinking, and kind of looking for validation but afraid to outright ask?

Or it could be a vitamin deficiency or hypoglycemia or something.

I eat a lot but not because I feel sick to my stomach-just cravings for chocolate or salty and mass quantities of it. And my breasts can be extremely sore. My periods began to change and get worse around 35 or so-if you are close to that age maybe its that.

I often have a combination of these symptoms. I feel tired and a bit under the weather. I get really cold then super hot (almost like I have fever). I have severe cramps just around the 24 hours before through the first full day of my period. I typically get a bad headache a day or two before and sometimes during. Boobs are usually sore a week before. I also have trouble sleeping but feel exhausted.

2 times a year I get bloated, crampy, aaaahhhhh! don't touch them! breasts, "burnt to a crisp or bloody as hell" > bloody food cravings, exhausted, snippy.

the other 10-11 times a year I get horny.

Yes I do. I am not sexually active either so I can't be pregnant :)

I get the whole early pregnancy feeling with hot and cold flashes, dizzy if standing too long, queasy in the morning until I eat, chocolate cravings which of course isn't a pregnancy thing and terrible fatigue. My breast will itch and get sore as well. My symptoms start 2-4 days before my period and last until day 4 of.

I think it's perimenopause for me.

Sounds like pregnancy symptoms to me. When is your period due? If it's within a few days from now, take a test. Good luck!

I'm a lot like Riley J., except for me it happens about 3-4 times a year where it's just wicked with ungodly cramps both front & back, diarhea, headaches, raging bitchiness, bloated, and way heavy flows to go along with it. The rest of the months I get crampy, but nothing unmanagable with Midol for the first day or 2.

I have NOT ever been nausous with my period, only when pregnant.

That sounds like what I go through. Except I don't have migraines and symptoms start about a week before I get my period.

During this time I am also a lot more angry and more emotional....

It is worse when I am stressed and less worse if I think through it, but that is soooo hard to do.

well pending you aren't pregnant or anything but PMSing... I would suggest this.. take mega oils ( I take Krill oil) by dr, mercola (it's a name I think I can trust) this helps my mood and thinking for that matter. Additionally, if you drink , DON'T do it around the first week prior to your period, I find that that really causes me to feel fatigued, even though I don't drink much at all (a RARE glass of wine) every few months... Also, lots of water... and of course, the power of the green.. by that I mean... spinach (fresh) is wonderful in that it has lots of iron in it. which you might not have enough of... when I eat more leafy greens, I feel so much better..
lastly.. exercise.. even if just an hour walk... I find this can do wonders.. as for the headaches.. I found that the water definitely helps with those.. keeping hydrated is so important..

best of luck

It sounds like pregnancy to me! I'm one of the lucky ones who doesn't have any symptoms at all. When I was a teenager I used to have cramps so bad it would make me throw up. I guess I did all of my pms suffering then, lol!
