Hi Ladies,
I am a 30 year old mother with 4 children under the age of 10..
Ever since my youngest was born 3 years ago the week before my period has me being a raging physco.. I don’t sleep, I don’t eat, I hate my life, I’m so mad and infuriated, irritable and it’s hell.. I’ve been to the doctor numerous times about this and my doctor currently has me on 50mg of sertraline (antidepressants)
The thing is, I hate these tablets and don’t want to rely on them for the rest of my life, not to mention the weight gain I have had on them is gross!
If it helps at all, I also had a tubal litigation about 2 years ago, and not sure if this could be a factor.
I want to know if anyone else suffers from PMDD and what steps have you taken to help you.. If I’m off these tablets I may as well not have a family because all I do is treat them badly and push them away.. I want and need help!

Have you tried the contraceptive injection? I've been on it for years & don't get periods, and only pms a few days before it's due every 3 months.
I have had a tubal litigation so don’t need any contraception, but maybe it is worth a go.
I am the same, its horrendous ^ lonely!!
I am now seeing an endocrinologist at Jean Hailes.
I highly recommend them, they may even do telehealth if you are not in Vic?
