If the 29 -year -old Mariene Barry does not take a contraceptive pill every day, he may have symptoms of severe anxiety or suicidal ideas.

The Marianne has a pre-masic religion dyspheoric disorder (PMDD), a condition that affects more than 8% of women, but for which the average waiting time for diagnosis is about 12 years.

The primary course of treatment for women living with contraceptive PMDD remains, but for women who wish to get pregnant, it creates a dilemma.

“I want to have a child, but I also want to be sensible,” said Marienne.

Welsh government said that it was “prescribed to improve diagnosis, treatment and awareness of conditions affecting women including PMD”.

Marien, a teaching assistant to Cardiff, spent two years ago spent eight years forward and back to her GP before demanding a personal diagnosis, when her symptoms became heavy.

“I woke up in the morning and I could feel that I bubble in me,” she said.

“It was as if my brain was almost hot with feelings of anger, upset, worry – anxiety was just crazy.”

He began to realize that his symptoms coincide with his menstrual cycle, and started making his records.

“I could have felt it and I will be fine, okay, I know I am coming to my period.”

Before that contraceptive pill was determined, the symptoms of Marienne again appeared every month, which he said that he left it in a constant cycle of concern.

“You almost feel that you have made it because you have really bad and then everything starts getting better again because you are coming towards that ovulation period.”

• Headache and joint and muscle pain
• Overting and problem sleeping
• Looks very worried, angry, sad or suicidal.

For Marienne, who wants children in the future, the idea of ​​her coming from medicine and its symptoms is very difficult for her to return to potentially.

“There is no certainty that you are going to get pregnant, you don’t know how much time it is going to take. Therefore, I want a child, but I also want to be intelligent,” she said.

“I am very afraid of getting off my bullet now.”

30 -year -old Corin Cinclair from Cardiff was diagnosed with PMDD two months ago and is currently trying for a child.

Antidepressants are her only treatment option, but she has been told by doctors that if she becomes pregnant, she will also have to think about the arrival of those people.

“I think more research can be done in PMDD to give women more alternatives that are just not taking a contraceptive pill,” Corin said.

“This is really a coop-out and I think they do this with a lot of women’s issues.”

Corin also has endometriosis, which can make a child more difficult.

He said that this anxiety, and a possible return of his PMDD symptoms – including dark ideas and struggling to find an inspiration to get out of bed – he was very stressed.

“When you are trying for a child, it is considered an exciting and happy time and it is, and I am still hopeful and ready for it, but there is worry behind your head,” he said.

“After having a child, am I suffering from my mental health?

“During pregnancy, am I really going to be mentally unwell?”

Dr. Roberts said that PMDD could be difficult to diagnose because it was often wrong for depression or anxiety.

He advised women with suspected PMDD to keep a wide diary of their symptoms, when they have to keep the track when there is and to keep the track, and provide that evidence to their GP.

He said that there was no silver bullet for women with PMDD who wanted to have children.

“This can be very challenging for women who want to conceive, but know that if they come out of their contraceptive, their PMDD is likely to increase the symptoms,” she said.

“If they are someone who has important PMDD symptoms, then it is a matter of balanced by the professionals and opposition to come from contraception.”

The Welsh Sarkar said its women’s health plan for Wales said that it was “how it was determined to improve diagnosis, treatment and awareness of conditions affecting women”.

A spokesperson said, “East-Casic Dharma Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) has been included as part of the menstrual health priority sector within the scheme.”

“Funding of £ 3m will be used to distribute tasks in the scheme.”
