Your post encouraged me, gave me hope! Good for you not letting the hormonal downswing keep you down!
What I'm going through isn't the same as what you did, but maybe we're in similar boats hormonally. I got off the pill a couple months ago and TOM's come back with such a vengeance. I had TOM while on the pill, but up until the last several months everything was regular as clockwork for me with very little cramps or problems with moods or cravings.
Now, though...
Good grief. Bad cramps, bad emotional PMS. Total cravings for carbs and sweets. And it's irregular as anything, breakthrough stuff. Howie's getting tired of me saying how I miss my nice regulated life on the pill.
It wasn't regulated as far as the bleeding went, but it was a piece of cake compared to now.
This, plus the shorter days and cloudy skies, have me crawling the depths this last week emotionally. I know it will get better, but right now? Ohhhh.
Sorry to waver from the subject at hand!
