Hi! I'm not sure about being crabby before O but I've certainly been extra crabby this month after O. I'd say around since around 8 or 9DPO and it's totally unlike me! It could be you've had a long week or hormones, I don't think there's a perfect answer as so many things affect us but you're not alone with the crabbiness. lol. I was glad to read your post that I wasn't alone as I don't normally have this "PMS" symptom but glad you posted!

Let's hope it's a preg symptom! Baby dust to you!

Yes! Around ovulation each month I get what I would call mid-cycle PMS, typically gets better once I O and then I'd get hit with real PMS, typically 3-4 days before AF and would vanish once I had full flow. I'm not sure it's something I've always had but definitely something I've picked up on over the last 3 years or so. Hormonal changes mid and late cycle.

Thanks, ladies! BabyFever, interesting. I'm really not sure I've noticed a pattern of crabbiness around Ov, but I'm definitely going to make a note of it to see if it occurs every month. Not glad it happens to us, but comforted in the fact that I'm not the only one!
