Ever had a day– or 7– where you just felt off?
A few caked-on dishes in the sink and socks on the floor– right beside the hamper– makes you Hulk out on anyone standing in your path. Leaving you feeling like you’ve lost control over your life and sanity again.
You replay the day trying to see how you got to this “Who have I become?” moment.
It could be because you’ve had zero energy or focus lately– even with that extra cup of coffee. Or because your skinny jeans felt extra skinny today… and now you’re switching out your killer date night outfit for comfy sweats.
You glance at the calendar and roll your eyes.
Oh yeah, PMS– That’s why.
Guilt washes over you. Because now your crew feels forced to walk on eggshells the rest of the day.
Try not to be so hard on yourself. Because you’re not alone– and your squad is super forgiving. I’m sure they are heading to the store to buy you a pint of chocolate ice cream now.
But what gives?
Your OBGYN promised these troublesome symptoms would reside within 3-6 months of starting birth control- which now feels like an eternity. With a few months still left to go, you’re not sure if your body or sanity can handle the fatigue, mood swings, or anxiety any longer.
Are you in the same sinking PMS ship as we were?
- You’re only taking birth control for PMS relief, but it now feels like there is no relief in sight.
- You’re sick of taking a daily birth control and are now experiencing additional unwanted side-effects.
- Your family is really annoyed with you crying over soda commercials. (To be fair, puppies are adorable.)
Yeah, we needed a life raft tossed our way and fast. So we ate a few pints of ice cream to chill out and then got work to find the best all-natural solution.
And we found it – if works for you like it does for our team here, then it will change your life.
SEMAINE is different from your standard birth control when it comes to PMS, and we can prove it!
It’s all-natural, science-backed, fast acting, and has ZERO BS– bad stuff.

Are the Small Perks Of Birth Control Worth the Large Risks?
Do you hate your daily birth control, but hate your PMS symptoms more?
As women we are genetically programmed to have a monthly cycle. But we aren’t required to put up with the bothersome symptoms.
There’s an estimated 150 million women and teens currently on birth control. And the majority of those use birth control soley for PMS and hormonal relief.
OBGYN’s have pushed birth control for decades. Unfortunately, they tend to gloss over the troublesome side effects and risks that come with the script. Whether they were trying to prevent pregnancies or reduce PMS symptoms, birth control has been the “Go-to” for all our hormone issues. (PCOS, endometriosis, pelvic pain, irregular or heavy cycles, PMS, and more.)
So you give this “cure-all” pill a try– but your body still doesn’t quite feel in sync. The only help our doctor offers is a new form of birth control to try or a pep talk….which sounds a lot like, “It’s normal and will get better with time.”
SIDENOTE: PMS pain is NOT normal– just common.
Honestly, the swollen breasts, weight fluctuations, mood swings, hair loss, depression, and bloating (just to name a few) are not worth putting up with for 3-6 months while you cross your fingers hoping it will even work.
Dr. Gersh, an OBGYN with over 21 years experience, states, “The true nature and impact of birth control pills is very concerning and prevents me from prescribing them in good conscience. All women should come to grips with the sad reality that this rampantly prescribed group of drugs can be harmful, and therefore unacceptable.”
Birth control can lead to serious long term side-effects such as:
- Increased risk of cervical and breast cancers, heart attacks and strokes
- Migraines
- Higher blood pressure
- Gall bladder disease
- Infertility
- Blood clots
- Benign liver tumors
- Decreased bone density
- Yeast overgrowth and infection
Yeah, we didn’t dig that list either. So we did something about it! (SPOILER ALERT– it’s called PMS & Period Support from SEMAINE.)
Finally, A Truly All-Natural Supplement for Better Periods– Without The Fake Stuff.
When you take birth control, you’re actually pushing synthetic hormones into your body and disrupting your natural cycles.
Sure, these phony hormones can impersonate your real hormones and even attach to their receptors, like a key fitting into a lock, but they can’t open the door fully. Meaning, you won’t have a truly natural cycle or feel at the top of your game.
I think we can all agree life is chaotic enough without hormones throwing ragers in your body…
Keep in mind that whether you’re trying to decrease cramps, get more energy, reduce bloating, or tame your raging mood swings**– birth control only addresses the symptoms– does NOT resolve them.**
Not Every Natural Supplement is The Same.
If getting off birth control isn’t an option right now. That’s okay! But if you’re looking to improve your PMS symptoms naturally, it’s important to note that most supplements may make taking birth control a little redundant.
Other natural options like vitex and chasteberry aren’t birth control friendly. They actually lessen the ovulation-inhibiting effects of birth control. Meaning you’re way more likely to get pregnant with these options.
SEMAINE is different. It’s the first all-natural PMS support supplement that is birth control friendly.
It’s Not Just PMS– It’s Inflammation.
Here’s a super helpful tip we weren’t taught in health class:
Painful PMS symptoms are actually linked to inflammation within the body.
Even if you’re generally healthy– inflammation is unavoidable.
Simply put, when the body ovulates it lowers its defenses for the possibility of egg fertilization– Weekend at Bernie’s vibes. Since a fertilized egg contains 50% foreign DNA, your body would see the foreign cells as an invader,so itrelaxes its defense protocols.
If the egg isn’t fertilized and you’re not pregnant, your immune system then cranks up and clears out the uterine lining. Hopping into “This is Sparta!” mode to catch up. But in return it also increases inflammation in your body– leading to “the period flu”. (Feeling down or flu-like before your cycle begins)
In a nutshell: The more inflammation you have in your body —> the worse your PMS symptoms will be.
Help Out Your Cycle By Reducing Inflammation:
- Balance your diet– cut out excessive junk food.
- Get plenty of rest.
- Drink lots of water to flush out toxins.
- Exercise.
- Manage stress.
- Limit alcohol and smoking.
- Take PMS & Period Support

Sisters, Lauren and Catherine, both suffered from endometriosis in their early teen years. (OUCH!) They quickly learned that women’s health and PMS pain were not being taken seriously.
“Our doctors thought we were being dramatic about our PMS symptoms… but needing to take so much Ibuprofen that your stomach is permanently weakened is not dramatic. It’s problematic.”- Lauren, CEO of Semaine
