Does anyone else feel this when they are nearing their monthly?

My bladder always feels full and I have to pee several times with not much coming out, much like a UTI but only when I'm nearing my period and sometimes afterwards but mostly right before.  It goes away once I start bleeding.  Any idea why that is?  

PS: Won't let me add tags from my phone :/

I used to experience what the OP described, but now you've mentioned hormones I've realised it's pretty much stopped since I got my Implanon.

I guess because it's giving me a constant does of hormones?

Pretty much -- the constant dose may sometimes confuse your system enough that the hormones that trigger ovulation (and then that trigger periods) don't happen on a regular basis. If you've stopped bleeding, mostly, then that would totally explain it.

Yes. I only have a very light bleed every three months or so.
