Wow,this is funny.
I had my first anxiety or panic attack last month on the 10th of dec. with my menstrual cycle. I had put an iud in in august and hadnt had a period since then. so Bamm anxiety and a period that lasted 7 days(again weird).
Well january 112 Bamm another panic anxiety attack with my menstrual cycle again.
i went to the obgyn and she said it Had nothing to do with the iud or my menstrual cycle. well I said take the iud out anyway! and now i still have my menstrual cycle i guess bec my hormones are all messed up. and i have nervousness everyday. which if i dont control can lead me into anxiety.. Hmm,any connection?
also,Pre Menapause? is that a thing? when are we suppose to be in the real menapause anyway? im 35 now.
Wondering also,what do the hormones levels check for? and who gives that test?/
curious...thanks everyone

Hi angelz-

Go to www.womantowoman.com to learn a ton about perimenopause. It can start in your early-mid thirties.

Thanks everyone for all of your support.

It is really a very hard thing to go through. I had my hormones checked too and everything was normal. I dread that time every month though because I have worked very hard on learning how to control my anxiety and have done very well with it but just can't seem to control it during my cycle. Again thank you guys it feels better at least to know that I'm not alone.

I had the same problem years ago and pretty much got the run around from my regular GP and Gyno. I ended up going to someone who specialized in natural hormone regulation and was put on natural transdermal progesterone for two weeks out of the month, and it was a Godsend. It took away almost all of my premenstrual anxiety, and also cured my insomnia at the time. It was better than Xanax.

Is this what I saw on a commercial a while back
PMDD?
Check it out on mayo.com or webmd.com
I am sure they would have some information
about it.
IF that is what it is.
Take care,
