I know this is probably a dumb question, but having just finished my AF a few days ago, and feeling the 'after AF low', I have to ask...

Is this unusual? I mean, SERIOUS lows. I was diagnosed with a major depressive episode when I was 17, and the 'after AF low' rival what I felt during that time. I also get a fairly low period before AF too, and it pretty much the only symptom that AF is on her way. It's a serious low, not just moody but like I get that 'black cloud, I'll never feel happy again' kind of feeling, and get some realy dark thoughts during both times.

I was diagnosed with PCOS when just starting TTC Jazz... does anyone else with PCOS have these kinds of terrible lows before and/or after AF?
Is there anything you take to help?

Both Shel and I want to get this under control. I've been to the GP and they said 'go on the pill' which I'm not really wanting to do...
