Fortunately, most women Ive been with had little to no PMS symptoms, so its not something I keep track of. The only time I can tell she is close to her period is when shes wanting to have sex a bit more often than usual.

Every woman I have had a relationship displayed different signs but after a while it was pretty easy for me to know.

The easiest was a lady I dated and she lived with me for a short time. Her period coincided with the lunar cycle. No joke. We still cross paths once in a while and for some stupid reason my mind automatically wonders about what phase the moon is in when I see her. She also gets a little moody during that time... She even admits it.

Wife doesn't get many symptoms except the hassle of maintaining hygiene. Once in a while the cramps put her in a mood much like a migraine puts me in a mood. Fortunately cramps or pains that get to the point of being an annoyance are rare.

Although I can't remember where I put my keys yesterday, I can't forget a ditty this gross guy in High School was singing a "hundred" years ago

To the tune of "When the caissons are rolling along"

You can tell
By the smell
She ain't feeling very well
When that time of the month comes along

We girls were all pretty paranoid for quite awhile, after that

Of course - because it's a great way to disregard women and discount what they're saying if you can chalk it up to "hormones" rather than something "real".

Not really surprising at all - lunar cycle is 28 days which is supposedly the average length... and the actual timing of it happens by chance. Of course, women's cycles can easily range from 20-35 days in which case it might be a little harder for guys to figure out.

True. I find the best way to get my husband to help is to straight out ask him. No hints or tricks will work, lol.

Eww...but there is a difference between smelling from poor hygiene(I have smelled woman like that) and what emits from your skin. My husband can only smell me when we are spooning. His nose is in my hair and neck. It's not like he can smell me across the room

We have never talk about this and as I don’t care if I get pregnant or not I never track this so I was really surprised he seemed to have this “special knowledge”.

So then I starting to try to figure out how her knew and I was a little shocked by the fact he picked up on all these changes that I seriously never noticed.

Do men usually notice this stuff with out being told or seeing blood?

Or is my husband just paying a lot more attention then I thought he was
I know. But then again because I know what to expect, so I don't normally go there.

Good times though. But not always my cup of tea because they can be limited times.

I was but now I know the pattern. It is what it is.

Right BEFORE, not during, maybe after. I just want to put that out there.

Funny thing is that now he pointed this out to you, you'll be really aware of whatever physiological things are going on.

As far as the whole PMS thing, if that's what you're asking, I think that it something younger women, and certain women. I never had that problem, not that I am aware of.

So this is common then. I thought I was the only one in that situation.

Do you think men are so dumb as to not be able to discern patterns? I knew when my wife's period started almost to the day. It's not hard.
