When to Get Checked for PMDD?

Hello!! I’ve been doing some research into PMDD and I’m almost positive I have it but I haven’t been diagnosed due to almost all my previous doctors (and everyone I know) just kind of shooing my problems away. My question is, how did you know it was time to go and get checked for PMDD?

Depression

Polycystic Ovary (PCOS)

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)

I mentioned it to my obgyn bc I was having sinus infections 5 days before my period for 8 months. Then I noticed cycles of mental health issues, misphonia, and just overal not being able to function properly for 2-3 weeks per month. Having pcos made it less predictable when my periods were irregular but the symptoms were always the same. Having a diagnosis hasn't necessarily helped. I was given continuous birth control but only stayed on it for 3 years as it caused many issues.

  @Mrs.Jess thank you! You already helped me!!! I got my period 2 days ago and i had no idea what misphonia is but i know i have it now thanks to you! There was a neighbors dog barking a few houses down for 15 mins straight and I thought i was about to lose my mind!!! I thought I was just stressed/overwhelmed but this makes sense as this happens alot and ive always accounted it to being stressed and overwhelmed by life
