What a Hormonal Mess!

There is something strange going on with me that I have not felt for quite some time. I am totally PMSing! Yes that is right, I am a hormonal, chocolate eating, salting linking, bitching, crying, yelling, laughing, crying, more chocolate eating, woman right now and it totally sucks.

You see my body is a hormonal mess and I do not have a regular menstral cycles. I have PCOS and issues with fertility hence the fact that I had triplets (yes there was medical help involved and yes the are natural, I was there during their creation, I carried them and they came out of me. I hate that question, 'are they natural?' Its like no, I just called up the toy company and ordered a set and here they are. See, I told you, a mess.)

You see, since the birth of the triplets my body was and is a bit screwed up. I had one period after their birth and then not again. And that is just fine with me. (I actually asked when they did my c-section if my womanly organs could just be removed. I have no use for them any more. The doctors just looked at me and did that laugh, you know the one, 'lets just laugh to ease the tension and move on because this woman is nuts' laugh. You are all probably doing about doing it right now.)

I was informed, however, by my lovely doctor that this is not healthy. Now I don't need to have a period every month but I do need to have at least 3 a year. She suggested birth control pills. (Um, NO. I hate those pills not the mention the weight gain that they casue and isn't that why I got my tubes tied so that I would have have to take a pill every day?)

So we moved onto another option. I was fine with that and 3 periods a year doesn't seem that bad but I did not sign up for the return of PMS! I was perfectly happy with myself in my calm and even temptered moods but NOOOO, that is not healthy. So now you get this, moody, short tempured, verging on insaine, Jen.

Needless to say that today was a rough day. This morning I actaully cussed my kids out because they would not get into the car fast enough. I lost Quinn at play group. I passed out during nap time and woke up to Hayden screaming, "Mom, can I please get out of my room? I have to go potty." Oh and yes, there was lots of baby screaming too. I had to go to the dentist to get a filling. They numbed my face and when I tried to drink, the water spilled out of my mouth down my shirt and soaked my shoes. And to top it all off, all the Halloween candy it gone and there is no -effing chocolate in the house.

So I am done. Thank God this day is over! Now tomorrow when I wake up, my PMS should be gone right!?! Please tell me it will be gone!

Jenn said...

If there is no chocolate there is always wine right?

Unknown said...

I think it will be gone. And I agree with Jenn, get that glass of wine!

Karen said...

Oh Jen....I'm so sorry. I have that whole PCOS nightmare that is the insanity of every hormone in your body going awry. Yeah, I even tried several different doses of the "pill" to try and control my periods, but nope, my body still does what it wants to. Not to mention it always made my blood pressure rise. So I have one period every two years and it can last for 6 to 8 months. And the PMS comes and goes at whim. (You know the acne, bloating, grouchy, cramping, where the hell is the chocolate, why are there so many LOUD children in this house type of PMS.)
Hang in there.

I feel sorry for you. The PMS that I experience is terrifying to me. I hate cussing out my kids for not doing something fast enough. I wonder if there is some miracle drug they have that can cure it or at least curb it down, because every stinking month without fail, I have this horrible PMS and I don't even like myself when this time comes around.

Jo-Jo said...

Oh honey, I know how you feel! I hope it was better this morning!

Rhea said...

When you've gone so long without it, PMS can really hit hard. Sorry that's what you're going through.

What option did you end up going with, if you don't mind me asking?! I'm not regular either, and I need to decide on something soon...

CaraBee said...

It's the next day and I'm hoping that things are better today! If not, get thee to the store and buy chocolate. Stat!

tiarastantrums said...

you know what I think it is an age thing as well - I never had PMS . . until after my 3rd baby and age 40! Then this crazy woman popped her evil self right out of my brain! It is the most bizarre thing in the world!! I keep hoping to get regnant again so I won't have to worry about this crap for at least two more years!!!!!!

Cristin said...

I hope it's better today, or you're getting drunk, either one...

You're living my life...and stole my next post idea! But I'm glad you wrote it, because mine would have just been sad and depressing and broken my "no cursing on my blog" rules.

I have birth control RAGE right now. I missed three pills in a row by puking them up (thanks flu) and now I'm all screwed up. I finished up the pack and now I'm on green pill #3 going...where the F is my period?!? If I'm pregnant I will die. Just die. Then destroy my bedroom and turn green like the Hulk.

Oh yikes! You poor thing.
Hope you're feeling better today!

Oh sorry this is your blog...lol
Okay..back to you. I am sorry it has been rough...I say go buy some wine and a candy bar or two..

Krissi said...

I love your blog! I have PCOS as well and can totally understand what you are going thru! It's a hell of a life to live isn't it???
