I apologize in advance if this is TMI or if this thread is in the wrong spot. I didn't see any other menstual woes in Health and Healing.
So here's the issue. My cycles used to be about 32 days long. Then I got my Paragard removed and cycles were 34-36 days long. I noticed signs of PMS then, even though I haven't really suffered from it since my teens.
Last month my cycle was 55 days long (I thought that I was pregnant!) and I was moody and hormonal, but thought that it was because of all the BFNs that I'd gotten and still no period. This month, my cycle started today, 52 days after the last one. I've been emotional and irrational for almost a week. Poor DH has been sleeping on the couch, which he affectionately calls his bedroom now, because of my insomnia. I've been freakishly sensitive to everything lately, too. I've never had PMS like this before. I've also never had cycles this long. The periods have been the same, no longer or shorter, its just the time between them that has changed.
Do you think that there is a relationship between long cycles and PMS?

I don't know. I just started charting and my very first chart was so sloppy that ovulation wasn't even detected because of irregular waking times (DH did a stint on mornings...which means that I had to get up at 2:00 am and back to bed at 7 before waking again at noon) and I lost my thermometer behind the nightstand for a week. 
s hope DH comes back to bed, half the reason we marry them is for bed warming!
