How long is PMS supposed to last?
I get it before, during and after. I'm wondering if this is supposed to be normal? It's really bothering me. I've never experienced much of PMS before I got onto the pill. I've been on the pill for over a year and out of nowhere for the past few months I go through 3 weeks of hell.

im sure the pill might have something to do with it because that doesnt sound too normal. periods should be more like one week i cant imagine it being 3 weeks. thats like the majority of your life.
maybe try getting off the pill for a while and see if things change. if they do you could try using a different pill.

The pill mimics pregnancy to keep you from getting pregnant. This puts your body into constant pregnant mode until the week of your period. You are most likely confusing PMS with your bodies production of hormone levels that you would normally not have. As long as you are on the pill, your body will think you are pregnant and your hormones will make you act as if you are. So if you are going to stay on the pill, you must be willing to deal with the consequences of them.
Don't be surprised that the makers of the pill, or the doctors that dispense them haven't told you this, there's no money it for them to tell you.

You ask me why others don't experience this, I would ask you how you know they don't? Others do experience this, a lot of others, but not all. Just like some women don't experience morning sickness and go through pregnancy without a problem.
Before you decide that this is not the problem, maybe you should try researching what I have told you. Hey, here's a great idea, stop having sex for a while and go off the pill for a few months, see if this solves your problem. Oh, but then you'll lose your boy friend won't you? After all, it is the only reason he is your boy friend.
You're hostility towards my answer is blinded by your emotion and you want an answer that suits you, like most, you want an answer that doesn't involve inconveniencing you or your happiness. Life is not that easy dear one.
