Does anyone know why I might be getting symptoms of PMS during my period instead of before it? I sometimes get moodswings before my period starts, but I get the cramping, bloating, and cravings in the middle of it. Does this even count as PMS anymore, or is it something different?

PMS is pre so technically it's not PMS if it starts during but it still sucks!!!
