I’ve never heard of this before but I have ASD too and relate to a lot the symptoms above. I don’t want to self diagnose or anything but could this possibly be why I getBumping this thread. I'm diagnosed with PMDD and can't have hormonal contraceptives due to this. I also have ASD, anecdotal evidence seems to indicate there is a large crossover between the conditions.
My GP prescribed buspirone to take on the bad week which has completely changed my life. It's an anxiety medication and it takes away my urge to react in extreme ways (I do still need to be aware and exercise self control, but tracking my cycle and knowing what week it is does help). I'm here to recommend this to anyone who hasn't heard of it.
That’s really helpful information, because I’ve just gone through a nightmare with the Mirena and that had to be removed, and they’ve given me a script for a POP, but I’ve been nervous to do anything else because the IUD thing was a whole ordeal.i have this, i saw a gynaecologist who specialises in it and i take a progesterone only pill which actually does help (because it stops me ovulating) - only have symptoms if i do ovulate which does happen occasionally but the fact it’s not every month is manageable. that’s not a first line treatment but i couldn’t tolerate yasmin (i had a really bad reaction to it!!) and i wanted to try something less invasive than the coil due to a bad experience with the copper coil! thankfully the POP works perfectly.
it’s great to have it under control and would totally recommend seeing a specialist if you can
PO pill helped my pms too - sadly it caused hormonal imbalance and i started losing my hairi have this, i saw a gynaecologist who specialises in it and i take a progesterone only pill which actually does help (because it stops me ovulating) - only have symptoms if i do ovulate which does happen occasionally but the fact it’s not every month is manageable. that’s not a first line treatment but i couldn’t tolerate yasmin (i had a really bad reaction to it!!) and i wanted to try something less invasive than the coil due to a bad experience with the copper coil! thankfully the POP works perfectly.

I'm not so sure actually, my GP has put it on my file but has not referred me anywhere so idek if I'm technically diagnosed or not atm.Can a GP diagnose this or would it be a referral to gynaecology?
I'm pretty sure I have this, I've been tracking my cycles since 2017 and have noticed I go to a really dark place around my period, along with alot of physical symptoms.
I'm the same as you @mochibean, I'm unsure if I'm officially diagnosed with PMDD or not. I've discussed it with my GP who agreed that the symptoms I have around a week before my period is due would suggest that I have this.I'm not so sure actually, my GP has put it on my file but has not referred me anywhere so idek if I'm technically diagnosed or not atm.
I had to receive my diagnoses from the gynaecologist. My GP told me to increase my complex carbs and take vitamin B6Can a GP diagnose this or would it be a referral to gynaecology?
