The PMS (premenstrual syndrome) cycle is a constant and disruptive feature of many women's lives. The PMS cycle, unpleasant and frustrating as it may be, can at least be trusted to begin anew every month. Predictability of the cycle may be PMS's only positive feature!
Just as women accept their period will arrive on time each month, so too do many have to accept that this phase of the menstrual cycle is preceded by a very unpleasant few days during which any number of emotional and physical PMS symptoms can strike.
As with a period, the PMS cycle is one of 28 days for most women. All women were built uniquely however, so the PMS cycle can be shorter or longer in duration, depending on the individual's own internal clockwork. The PMS phase of the menstrual cycle is the luteal phase. The two weeks preceding a period in other words. For most women, PMS strikes the last 7 to 10 days of their monthly cycle.
They say that the only certain things in life are death and taxes. Well for many women, thanks for the wonderful and mysterious cycle of hormones, periods and PMS are also guaranteed!
