Oh, sweety....do I know what you are going thru. Have you checked to
see if you might be pregnant though? I know it seems like a long shot
but I was told that I wasn't ovulating at all and one day I cried all
through the Emmy's and pouted for hours because my husband didn't make
steak and potatoes for dinner, I even cried and that's not like me. I
told him that I thought I needed prozak. I found out I was pregnant the
next day. I was on metformin/glucophage (same thing) for 2 years but
just 7 months ago they said that I wasn't ovulating. But before I was
pregnant, I could always tell when I would get my periods because I
would feel the same as what you described. Luckily for my hubby that
was only every OTHER month. I think that with regulating periods you
get regulating PMS too. What a dirty trade, huh? Hope I helped and all
gets better.
