When I first started my period I fell into a regular pattern fairly quickly. I remember marking the calendar when I was in Junior High and counting the 28 days.
Then I was on BC for a long time. Went off cause I was gaining weight. Got so many migranes I went back on a 4 x's a year schedule with BC - loved that. Then was gaining weight again and started missing the 4 x's, getting hot flashes, etc. So I quit BC. About 6 mo later I was still having issues with the hot flashes and migranes and mood swings. Eventually the schedule evened out to 28 days again. Finally my Dr put me on Atenolol because my blood pressure was slowly creeping up (I suspect from the hot flashes and mood swings). My cycle has been 28 days nearly perfectly for the past 6 months (minus one 27 day cycle) and I have had no migranes (Except once when I forgot my blood pressure pill/beta blocker) or hot flashes.
Speaking of 28 day cycle - do you start counting the day you start and end on the day you start or do you start counting the day AFTER you start and end on the day you start? I do the later.
Do any of you get majorly MORE horny when you're close to your period?? I've almost been able to tell simply by how horny I am because around that time, if I go to bed and can't get to sleep because I want MORE sex... I inevitably start the next day. We love it!
