Pms/pmt "worsening" with age

Looking for "personal" experience.. As you lovely ladies have gotten older, did anyone find that their pms/pmt "symptoms" get "worse/stronger".. I find that two weeks before my period is due my breasts start to hurt horribly ( I have had 4 kids, breast fed 2 successfully, milk never came in for the younger two due to stress) I get horrible nausea, no better then "morning sickness" that lasts all day.. My knees hurt and I get bloated am emotional along with headaches.. I've been to the Drs to the point it's like I'm a hypochondriac... I'm in my mid 30's and have my tubes tied.. In my teens I would have the same "symptoms" to a lesser degree

Yes, I'm in the same boat - Dr has suggested an ultrasound to check out for fibroids etc. Otherwise it's a hormone check to see if there's anything off kilter there.

My pms symptoms are worse now than they've ever been, not sure if it's just natures way or a side effect of my Implanon. Possibly both I suppose.
My boobs get so sore and heavy and things that I would usually find mildly irritating make me furious (then I feel like a crazy person because I'm fully aware I'm being irrational lol). I too get headaches (migraines actually) and my IBS flares up also, so I'm a real joy to be around when this is going on.
If it's really bothering you, I suggest getting another opinion from a new Dr or gyno 😃

I have been to a gyno, had all the tests ect too which nothing was "found" I'm on the waiting list for a hysterectomy... Thank you ladies

See a wholistic/integrative gp and get a full assessment done. Normal GPs don't know anything about nutrition and gut health/autoimmune conditions.

I'm the "poster" after 6hrs at the hospital I finally got answers as to what's causing the horrible pain.. multiple nabothian cysts surround the c-section scars and adnexa pelvic congestion ( none of which has been made apparent by other sonographers ) it's so relieving to finally have answers... treatment options, medication the only "solution/cure" surgery.. thank you ladies for your replies
