Not a particularly likely scenario. Haven't you just recently started birth control pills, or am I mixing you up with another Erin? If they're new to you, you may be experiencing some "breaking in" symptoms. PMS is expected to start up to 7 days before the period is due, but PMS on birth control pills is not typical. If it recurs next month, you might want to discuss your symptoms with the prescriber.
