When I first had my period, I used to have extremely terrible cramps! I used to pass out and throw up from the pain - school during that time was a write off - I missed so much of it!
Since I've been on birth control (about 6 years now) I have had virtually no cramps at all. I notice a little bit of a mood swing but only once in a while - definitely not with every cycle. Mostly I'll notice that during the times that I'm feeling hormonal I should NOT have serious discussions late at night (because everything seems worse at night) but rather should leave them until the morning when I'm feeling more clearheaded and alert because by that time any emotional PMSing has generally gone away.....
I rarely get completely irrational and moody, I never scream and yell due to pms - mostly I tend to just cry a lot easier if something is troubling me and I feel more stressed. That's about all.....
