so now i have another question. i think i'm over the PID scare. the past 2 periods i've had terrible PMS. the thing is it never used to affect my moods very much, but i was cranky, crying easily... coincidentally i spent both of my PMSs with my girlfriend and i was too cranky with her, she said it was ok, but i felt bad. i don't want PMS to rule my life. what can i do to prevent this? also, can a couple of cups of coffee a week affect me that much? that's really the only thing i can think of (this is my first semester at college) when during my cycle would it affect me the most? thanks:)

i've noticed that if i drink a lot of coffee right before i get my period, i get horrible cramps. so i try to cut down on caffeine when i know it's coming...i never noticed if it gave me bigger mood swings though, that's interesting.

What is PID?

pelvic inflamatory disease. women can get it from infection (or bacteria maybe) in their uterus. it can make you sterile.

coffee

I believe that coffee can have terrible effects on some people. I cannot go near coffee when I feel down. I go from placid to wild-scary-manic lady within two cups of coffee. It acts on my body like a swift dangerous poison. I get cramps only when I've had coffee. I sometimes get these symptoms from too much chocolate too. However, I have no problems with caffeinated teas.

Give tea a try. Or, at least try to eliminate the coffee to see if it's the culprit. If that doesn't work, get a big soft blankey. Spend some time curled up in it while watching John Hughes movies.
