Probably 5-6 weeks. The pain improved then one day wasn't there at all. I did start the Complete Woman (Boots' own) the same time so that could be helping tooI’ve been taking boots evening primrose for 3 weeks- how long did it take to have an effect?
Thank you! Will persevere 
Usually with any supplement, they do day 3 months don't they?I’ve been taking boots evening primrose for 3 weeks- how long did it take to have an effect?
I've been using this shampoo for the last 3 weeks and can honestly see a difference 'on the brush'. I have tried a few others over the last couple of years which were a waste of money
My rage is off the scale. Period ended last week. Another brewing now. Bloating so I resemble a puffer fish.
Ffs.
Ffs.
I've been the same. Ive heard people blaming the moon these last few days.
Is really low mood part of peri too? I'm so emotional and have like little panics about things that haven't even happened. Like my elderly parents dying, my little boy being poorly etc. Like irrational thoughts I suppose?
I wondered that too. I've been experiencing this a LOT recently. Really intensely. Always been a worrier but never quite like this.
I feel for you, it's horrible.
It is horrible. I'm the same, always been a worrier and over thinker. But it seems full on atm. Plus iv been having breast pain and so I feel quite low. I'm sure it must be perimenopause.
Sending you lots of love because I really feel you xx
As others have said, I'm sure it is part of peri - I have found over the last couple of years that irrational thoughts, worries, and anxiety have taken me over a little bit. Low mood has come with this too.
Small things that I would 'just' have previously found stressful are now causing ridiculous amounts of panic. Particularly in the run-up to my period.
The run-up to Xmas, Xmas Day, and afterwards has been PMS week for me, and it's felt unbearable. Period arrived last night and although I still feel bad and very depressed/anxious, I know why I felt so terrible this week, now.
Iv been exactly the same. I definitely notice the lead up to my period I'm really low. Iv just bought some evening primrose oil as people suggested its good with the breast pain, but also people have recommended it for the low mood too. So maybe get some yourself too. I really feel for you because I know how awful jt can be xxx
Last period was a 6-week cycle, looks like I'm about to come on again 2 weeks after the last one. Not impressed.
I've been 'off' a total of 8 days and started again.
I'm also murderous and up and down peeing all night. Time to see if we can up this HRT.
Right, I’ve stopped procrastinating and made an appointment.
I had a severe stabbing pain in my armpit recently which I'd never experienced before and thought it could a sign of something more sinister. It was really painful. It kept happening on and off.
Luckily it wasn't anything serious and as you say, I was advised it's hormonal and affects the lymph nodes.
However I would still encourage anyone with any concerns to get yourselves checked out.
Period ended on Boxing Day. Just come on again. Taking the piss. I need a new supply of cerazette in Feb, going in with my period tracker all guns blazing. I’m not putting up with this for the next 10 years.
I’ve not long had a pretty thorough exam with ultrasounds etc after a scare so I’m fairly certain in my case this is a hormonal thing linked to the sore boobs, but absolutely agree it should be checked if you’ve not been examined recently.
It’s a new one on me though, armpit pain and periods. Who knew?
I take magnesium and it really helps with the lack of sleepCan anyone recommend any supplements for insomnia please?
I'm so tired and find it easy to go to sleep but then I'm awake half the night. My brain seems to think that 5am is a good time to get going atm
I am in the very early stages of being peri menopausal (44 in Feb) with my main symptom currently being very heavy periods and since the beginning of December insomnia. I've done lots of reading thanks to threads like these and see lots of people have recommended Evening Primrose Oil and Magnesium. Is it worth me starting to take them now or am I better off waiting for things to get 'worse' before starting?
