Mood Swings?!?!?!?

[lizrbit 0]

Since being banded...

Im ..."fertile"..twice a month now, with all that implies...but even more bizzaar (because im usually a very funny, upbeat person my friends would describe me as happy and gets along with everyone) is that IM NOT THAT NOW. I go from one minute all "oh i love my northern new england town and singing 'life in a northern town' " while walking to "oh my god its fecking cold and i fecking hate everythign about this." and little things which never USED to get to me, get to me BIGTIME.

I lost my fecking ipod this morning that i usually take to the gym..and i blew a gasket! Im hold up right now privately so i can get my mood in check before going back to the house and searching for it again where i will be around other people. This morning i was near throwing things because i was out of vanilla slim fast. lol.

Now that i read it , its funny ...but at the time it sure wasnt.

ANYONE ELSE GOING THROUGH THIS???

Ha! I know exactly what you mean! From what I've been told it's due to hormonal changes, as estrogen is stored in the female's fat cells. Once those cells start to shrink the hormones are released and you end up with an excess of estrogen.

I get my period twice a month and I'm on birth control. It's annoying but my gynecologist said that will stop once my weight stabilizes.

Yet another one of the "side effects" they forgot to tell us about! LOL!

Wow, no wonder my periods have been so strange. I thought the change was coming! Talk about major PMS. Sheesh. I did some retail therapy today and the clerk brought me a medium in the changing room. It didn't fit but it was nice to think that that was the size she picked for me. I did find a whole lot on sale in Large (no x's or xx) I'm on my way.

hey annie, congrats on the nsv!

and thank god im not the only one going through this. I JUST turned 39 and thought i was going through "the change" early too. You know though it DOES make sense to get on the pill to try to control it. Libra, thanks for that idea, ill probably go in and see what i can do. maybe because of the extra estrogen the pill you were taking isnt strong enough anymore? Im definitely going to go in and find out if i can get on them.

we only have so many eggs. when they go, they go...and rapid fire shooting isnt doin me any good.

Well, there may not be a solution but at least we know what's happening.

man...its makin me crazy.

im cool and all..its just very different. I really need to go see gyn and get on something to at least try to balance it out. My teeth feel longer and im a bit "hungry" all...and i do mean ALL the time.

i keep checking to see if im growing hair on the back of my neck.
