Okay so I'm supposed to start my period in 5 days. It will be my second one so I obviously didn't know what it was like when I was pmsing before my first period because I didn't know I would be starting soon. I have been aggravated lately and I almost feel stressed. I get a lot more annoyed at my sisters. But other times Im really happy. I haven't had any cramps and I haven't really had any discharge lately. I feel really horny too. Like I either masturbate or want to masturbate every night for like the last three days. I think it's pms but I don't really know. Thanks for the help in advance.
