My doc just started me on this as well. So far, so good. The mid-month and TOM migraines have gone (which is FANTASTIC!), but I still felt cravings, though they weren't as bad.
I had hoped it would help a bit with evening out the "psycho******" issues I have a few days before my TOM. Alas, it didn't do as well as I expected and I was still a nightmare of a freak of a psycho****** Ugh. Gotta find a way to get a better handle on that, especially with a young child in the house. When Mommy isn't happy, it's not good.

I've always had cravings and the inability to be satisfied with food during my TOM. I was hoping that would cease with the surgery. I appreciate you sharing the challenge and helping me mentally prepare for that too. I'm sure you will be successful getting through it!! You've got this!!

I usually stall right before my lady friend comes and then on the day she comes I drop weight. I used to have PCOS, my periods come on the exact day every month now which I am grateful for. I do have cravings and I do give in to them sometimes. I try to work through them the best that I can. I do still get headaches and very bad cramps. I take prescription naproxen from my gyno. I also take advil.
