Why do I have PMS for 2 weeks?

[Anonymous]

I gain like 6 pounds during PMS, and I get bloated and bad trips to the bathroom, with pimple breakouts. This is all two weeks before my period. Then during the week of my period I lose the weight and everyone says I look good and fit, and still have a little bloat but other than that I'm ok. Then after my period I'm the happiest and most confident. Only for one week. :( then PMS starts again.

I I researched this and I heard magnesium can help. So I bought magnesium and I take them everyday. (250mg - 500mg)

and end I exercise nearly every day and eat healthy. I eat chips but it's usually unsalted potato chips (only ingredients are potato and canola oil)

i eat every 3 hours and eat around 1500 cal a day. I'm 15, 5'3 125lb

Go on the contraceptive pill. It will level out and control your hormones to make PMS a lot less intense, plus you won't go through it for so long while on the pill because it's only during the week off that the pill lets your body produce those hormones.. you'll have a much less stressful time regarding it on the pill and won't notice much! Just ensure you tell your doctor thats why you wnt to go on the pill, to regulate your time of the month and he'll give you the right one :)
