Help with moody girlfriend.

[LCBUTLER]

My girlfriend has never done a cycle, she has done clen/t3 in the past. But here is the real issue. for two weeks out of the month she is awesome, for the other two weeks she is very moody does not want to see anyone, and keeps to herself. It is like clockwork, the week her period starts and the week after she feels great, then two weeks after her period she gets moody and grumpy. She is not on birth control, and has not been for almost a year.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well I guess first I wouldn't even worry about the t3/clen and you don't need to be on a cycle to be moody. Its the ol' hormone roller coaster. My first question is, does she think she's moody? (You are talking about your perception of her here so to be fair she needs to feel there's an issue, not you.) And also does she plan to be off birth control going forward & did she have the same mood cycle before she ever went on b/c?

She does notice it. I need to talk to her some more as it is hard for me to remember exactly how she was when she was on b/c, but I think she seemed more balanced. She has been under quite a bit of stress over the last year too, but this up/down thing is so predictable you can set your watch by it. I think she will probably stay off b/c since I am fixed, and I know she gains weight with it too. She also eats a very low carb diet, sometimes like almost no carbs which I think could contribute.

Thanks,

OK, so now that we know the hormones are all natural and not being artificially manipulated, I'd say that diet is pretty suspect. Your brain needs carbs to function and I can tell you I've been a hellfire bitch on wheels on my low carb days prior to competition. So I'd say maybe why dont 'you have her look at her diet. Even post it here if you want / she wants. Lay out a day's meal plan - what she eats, how much and when. Then put it all into a food counts program like www.fitday.com so you can sort of accuratley quantify just what she's eating. If she's low carbing all the time with no carb-ups, that's just not good. If that's the case, if you dont' post up the diet for some feedback here, at least make sure she does a decent refeed of clean carbs at least a few times / week. Then see if that helps her. Perpetual low carb is just bad.
