female topic- cycle, emotional flare ups

[MissLiss 71]

Morning,

I know my cycle is off and I knew to expect it..but what I was not expecting was PMS like emotions, irritation etc. I'm eating well, sleeping well, and exercising most days...and yet for no reason my temper flares up. Has anyone else run into this? It's one thing when I know when it's going to happen but i feel like this has jumped up out of the blue a few times this morning.

Yes, I am usually an endlessly patient person, and I've noticed since surgery my emotions are much more volatile. I cry, get angry, but also much happier than I used to be pre-surgery. I believe it's the change in hormone levels.

Thank you Madmax- I am seeing my doctor on the 30th and I will definitely be asking them about this.

I have definitely experienced this too. I seem to remember reading that estrogen gets released from the fat stores as the fat burns off, so maybe we're having hormonal surges? hang in there!
