[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d say it started for me around 42. I started to have noticeable PMS even with an IUD. My whole life I only had mild, short-lived PMS. My periods are extremely light with an IUD but they started to get unpredictable. I started sleeping terribly, gaining weight in my midsection where I’d never carried weight before, I was irritable all the time. I started to feel warm all the time. All of this has gotten more pronounced each year.

I’m 45 now. Still have an IUD. My PMS now lasts about 2.5 weeks (the breast soreness is no joke, worse than when I was pregnant), followed by a week of feeling totally bloated and depleted, and then my period may or may not appear. I’m super hot most nights (but not sweating). The random rage has gotten better. I have to very conscious of what I eat, getting enough sleep, limiting alcohol, and exercising regularly to keep my sanity. [/quote]

Same here. My periods were more irregular after age 41. Now I’m 45 and the main thing is feeling like a mess before my period, which never happened before. [/quote]
