spinoff: did MSM mess with your cycle?

[Blaque*Angel]

Hi Ladies
Did MSM mess with your cycle?

It did mess with mines, for two months but they got back on track again.
I have been taking MSM for 1.5 years.

Please add your input.

Thanks

Blessings

I voted other because I just started taking a vitamin supplememnt with MSM in it a few days ago, so I don't know yet...however, I was a bit late in starting in my cycle this month and when I started taking it, I started today. Plus I feeling a bit uneasy and I'm getting cramps, which I usually don't get when I have my cycle - only bloating and a bit of tenderness If it doesn't get any better, I'm going to stop taking it. No amount of hair is worth me feeling bad!!

MSM has been wonderful for my body and my cycles. My cycles are SOOO much more comfortable when I take MSM...so much so that sometimes I forget that my cycle is on!

My cousin used to have these unbearable cramps that would leave her unable to walk for a day or two. She takes MSM, and now her periods are lighter and more comfortable.

I suspect that MSM's effects on the body have something to do with general health and other supplements/eating habits.

I voted "no" but I do notice that the consistency of my cycle is much thinner than before.

I voted YES. But, I'm still going to continue to take them. I only take 1000g a day. When I was taking 3000g a day my cycles were really acting up like every 2 and 3 weeks and YOU KNOW A SISTAS HUSBAND STARTED COMPLAINING!!

I've been on it for a couple weeks and my periods still come on their own time. Sometimes every week, but no more than three weeks apart. So no changes here.

MoMo, I agree. Mine has definately been lighter and not as bothersome as before. I'll take that benefit any day!

Ok...then it must be something else then that's causing the opposite effect on me Everone here's saying their cycle's got lighter and "more comfortable"

Maybe the shock of vitamins in general cause I'm used to not taking any

I had been having problems with my periods (not just the cycle), but never attributed it to MSM caused I loved it so much and didn't think I had side effects. Then it got sooo bad last month (I got scared) and I read a thread here and decided to stop.

This month, my period was SIGNIFICANTLY better! But I'm going to wait until the next couple of months to see if MSM was the real culprit.

I thought I'd share b/c it looks like people don't like it when you talk bad about MSM, but I feel like these stories need to be heard as well for everyone to look out for *just in case*

ETA: I'm kinda hoping it's the MSM, cause if it's not, I'm really afraid it might be something more serious. In any event, I'll still be seeing my physician next month.

Thought I was the only one...thanks secretdiamond I read that article to and that's what got me more alarmed that I'm having symptoms during this particular cycle that I'm not used to. I hope everything goes well for you next month!

MSM has been great for my monthly cycle. I went from having moderate cramping on day 1, to almost no cramping at all. Also, my periods are lighter and shorter, by a day or two. Before MSM, my periods came like clockwork, and I'm happy to say that MSM has not messed that up.
