PMS-EMOTIONAL-boyfriend doesn't believe it

i get extremely emotional right around the time of my period. i have mood swings, get sad, angry, and cry alot. this is not something i can control or change when it happens.
my boyfriend seems to think otherwise. he says there is no such thing as PMS and i should just deal with it. he says it is just a way women can be angry at other people and justify it. i know there are cases that women can be deceitful, and use this as an excuse, just as men can be deceitful, but i am not talking about these few instances.
over all, do you get PMS? how does your significant other handle/ feel about it?

(i am trying to bring it up with him without being too emotional and defensive.)

here's a site

I'm a logic demon, so I like to beat down accusations like this with factual presentation.

While some dispute the psychological components of PMS, the biological aspects are hard to explain without acknowledging it as a valid issue.

If he still doesn't agree, he can have my monthly acne, bloating, and mood swings. ;)
